Not a good photo I know…. taken from far with a cellphone.
I don’t find rabbits, they find me! Now if I believed in dark psychic energy I could spin you a story of the supernatural here. But I don’t. I believe in coincidence.
This little one has come to live in the bottom of the retaining wall. I take him a carrot 2x per day plus a bowl of pellets but of course there are grass and twigs to eat too. I am this time round not trying to tame him, although I would love to cuddle him. But he is safe where he is. He knows me by now but I am not trying to touch him. I want him to know some 2 legged beings are nasty and he should avoid.
I LOVE RABBITS!

Wat ‘n voorreg! Sommer ‘n stukkie useless information oor hasies, as totem animal sê hulle vir jou raak ontslae van jou vrese…..

Nog altyd gewonder of daar ‘n verskil tussen ‘n haas en ‘n konyn is……

Ja n haas is n hare in Engels, dieselfde familie maar n ander spesie.

Ek weet nie of jy konyntjies ken nie maar as hulle mak is dans hulle om n mens, tog te oulik.

Ek ken hul gladnie.My enigste ervaring was toe my dogter klein was en ‘n konyntjie wat sy by ‘n onderwyser gekry het,huis toe gebring het.Hy het net drie dae geleef,want ons het vir hom slaaiblare gevoer,wat heel waarskynlik gif op gehad het.Ek het ‘n hele nag by hom gesit terwyl hy een stuipe aanval na die ander gekry het en toe vroegoggend dood is na ‘n vreeslike lyding.Ek voel nou nog siek daaroor.

Dis terrible ek weet maar hulle het eintlik baie sensitiewe gestelle. Ek dink ek moet hierdie een dalk minder wortels gee, dalk is dit te veel suiker. Hulle normale kos is maar gras en hooi. Maar hoe weet mens altyd. Sorry man dit was so met my kinders se konyne ook hulle gaan so maklik dood 😦

Ek was geweldig getraumatiseer na daardie ervaring.Dit klink nou stupid,maar kort daarna het ek ‘n totale ineenstorting gehad en ek was weke lank baie siek.

Ek kan dit baie goed verstaan , dit het my minstens 3 maande geneem om oor Hasie se dood te kom en vir n baie lang tyd wou ek nie daaroor praat of na fotos kyk nie. So iets kan baie in n mens se psige trigger. Amper soos iets post traumaties.

Yeah. Nice that you are being kind to him, but sad you need to let him know not everyone is you.

yes I don’t want him to become a meal. But then he would be difficult to catch because he is as fast as lightning. The last one who lived here for 2 years ate out of my hand.

Maybe the rabbit is your spirit animal Fletch … if you believe in things like that. 😆 I think they’re adorable as well and I am glad it found a safe haven with you. You are right, some 2 legged beings are nasty for sure. ♥

They would but he is outside on the pavement and they are not aware of him. The holes in the wall do not go through into the garden, (it is the bottom part of a retaining wall) ….
Thank goodness

Yes he does, but my husband thinks too much goodies may be bad for his health. So I will cut down to one carrot per day … He used to , we think, live by the river where he fed on grass and sticks which is his natural diet. There is grass on tha pavement though.

I think he has moved on because he did not eat his carrot this morning, who knows probably looking for a friend. So nice to know he is free
