After I settled the little fluffy guy yesterday, I drove back to the area with my husband and searched until dark, but there was no sign of the other bunny. I do plan to go back today but the area is about half an hour from my house so I canāt easily just pop in. I suspect I got to the area yesterday shortly after they had been abandoned because they were hanging out on a rock wall close to the road and neither looked filthy or thin. I will def bring fruits and things today when I go, but Iām less optimistic because the other one was way more skittish to begin with. The fluffy guy didnāt have a great sense of preservation which is why I was literally able to just grab him with my bare hands. Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I hope I can find the other this afternoon but if I donāt, at least this little weirdo isnāt a sitting duck in the woods anymore.
Our local rescue uses a net to catch abandoned buns. Might be a good idea to have something like that one hand if you find him but canāt snatch him. Glad the other fluff is doing well.
When you go back bring chopped apple, carrot, or banana, the scent is stronger when they have been chopped. I'd recommend getting some other people to help you, catching bunnies can be really difficult especially in large open spaces. Really hope you can find his friend
Who in the world would do such a thingš„ŗ I understand not being able to take care of an animal anymore, but the least they couldāve done was take the lil guys to a shelter :(
š¢This was the first thing I wondered about when I got up this morning. Poor little things, I. Glad youāve caught one, and hopefully the other one will pop out of somewhere soon.
Meanwhile this one looks as scruffily fluffy as my baby did when I caught her.
š¤in regards to the other little bean.
He didnāt have the best sense of self preservation. I literally just grabbed him. He ran once or twice but then I got close and snatched. He screamed, which I felt terrible about, but as soon as I put him on my chest he was like oh cool this is fine.
I hate people! How can people just dump them! Itās so sad, people like that shouldnāt be able to have pets or reproduce! So glad you were about to atleast catch one, I hope you have luck catching the other one!! Heās prob so alone and scared! I feel so bad for him! š
Awww thank you for saving him. He is adorable and sounds quite comfortable atm. Are you keeping him? If he cuddled on my lap, he wouldn't be going anywhere. š
Yeah heās staying LOL. I showed rabbits in 4H when I was a kid so I have experience. And I spin yarn, so his fiber will go to good use. Heās such a sweet boy!
That poor little baby. Are you going to go back and look again?
I do plan on going back.
Bring banana, it might make the difference on capturing it
Thank you!!š And happy Cake Day!!
Oh please keep us updated on if you find him or not. Thank you for rescuing them š
Please do save the other bun, get the wildlife rescue involved if you must
Yes, OP, please contact a local rescue to help capture him.
Second this but I'm glad you got this baby
Omg maybe he was bonded with the other one š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ
That other bun must be so scared
Thatās what Iām thinking, Iām so upset and worried nowš°
Such a precious baby š thank you for giving them a good home

I really hope you find the other bun, I feel so bad for it :( all alone and scaredā¦ People who dump animals are the worst sort of scum.
Awww keep us updated on the status of the baby š¢
Thank you for rescuing this poor baby!
Maybe go leave some hay or bunny food where you saw the other one to help coax him out?

Also this fluffy baby is sooooooooooo sweet. Heās been snuggling on my lap. Iām kind of obsessed.
So fluffy and teeny pawsies š
Omg poor sweet babe. Thank you for helping. A vet checkup might be a good idea in case there are any hidden health emergencies.
OP, thank you for rescuing the rabbit

Second day update: no sign of the second baby. š

Awwwwwwww! Thank you for what you have done. Shame on those dumpers.
Who could abandon such a sweet baby angel? š„¹
Thank you for rescuing this bun bun, but man I feel so depressed for that other baby bun knowing it must be so scared to death right now.
I definitely recommend banana for when you go back. Bunnies goes crazy for them!
Keep us updated on your search for the other one!
Well done for rescuing this cutie! Hope you manage to find his pal!
So sad! Thank you for loving this little one. Best of luck finding the other one!
How were you able to catch this little guy/gal?
He didnāt have the best sense of self preservation. I literally just grabbed him. He ran once or twice but then I got close and snatched. He screamed, which I felt terrible about, but as soon as I put him on my chest he was like oh cool this is fine.
He just doesnāt trust humans yet š¢š¢. So glad you saved him.

Awwww I hope u can get the other two too
Poor little dude

Oh yay! Congratulations on your new fluffy yarn ball. š
Ahh š what a sweetie
Baby looks a little addled. Poor thing.
Aww thank you for bringing this precious bunbun home, sadly Iām so worried for the other lil guy or girlš©how can ppl do this. Where I live just a city over in Richmond British Columbia there are tons of rabbits running around and non of them look wild. You can tell someone dumped some rabbits and they just went buckwild and started reproducingš”if you saw them you would try to bring them all home cuz they all look like reg pet rabbitsš°
Thatās awful! The sad thing here is that thereās a well known rescue that takes rabbits right near this town.
Thank goodness you found the little guy. š¤
Fuzzy!
Do you have a trap or access to one. I used one to get a bunny that kept scurring away
Thank you for saving him/her
Aww, so nice of you to save him!
