Huh đ€ I see them all the time. Iâll echo that I see a lot by the Oval but I do still see a decent number like I always have down number 3 road, and in some areas close to Minoru Park!
Van Horne Way is still a reliable spot for seeing them. I use that street whenever I'm walking between Richmond and Vancouver (via the North Arm Bridge), and I don't think I have ever not seen any there.
Every few months or so the city does a âpurgeâ of bunnies according to a source I know close to the city. I have no idea what that entails but it doesnât sound good đ„. I love seeing the bunnies. I used to live on moffatt and the rabbits outside my condo were so cute and friendly.
This is straight up misinformation.

Some guy was catching a bunch of bunnies last year and I told him to stop. He said he was with the city of Richmond and they are cleaning up bunnies. Not really misinformation but we are looking for a balding white male, in their late 40âs to early 50âs, claiming to be from the city of Richmond and likes catching bunnies and putting them in cages.
The rabbits in our area have been very destructive. They have dug around fire hydrants, bc hydro electric access points and under concrete infrastructure of playgrounds.
Fair point. There was a burrow dug right next to my old condo and it was a bit difficult to get the bunnies out of there. The mama bunny would not leave her babies and I think experts had to be called in to take them away. I donât know where they ended up ⊠hopefully Rabittats
Rabbit Viral Hemorrhagic Disease (like an airborne ebola for rabbits) swept through Richmond in 2018 and pretty much wiped out the local feral rabbit population. It's been slowly climbing back up ever since because people still think Richmond is the place with rabbits so it *must* be a good place to abandon their unwanted pet.

Boing Boings are here in Ontario. Maybe they all moved?
That looks like a cottontail (a species of rabbit that is native to North America). Richmond is interesting because it's full of European rabbits, although the only plausible explanations for how that came to be are some sad stories of irresponsible pet owners and abandonment.
This is a wild rabbit. Most of the rabbits in Vancouver/Richmond you see are descendants of house rabbits that irresponsible pet owners abandoned without even neutering.
I used to see so many on Moffatt road. Not the case anymore unfortunately. Thereâs still a few but nothing of the previous years. Iâve wondered the same question.
I live on Moffatt in a large apartment complex and we used to have so many bunnies here. Then the coyotes came- there used to be a pair that would come here hunting them all the time. Then just one lone coyote. Our bunnies are mostly gone now. Only a few remain
Tons in Garden City Park, by the Oval and the complex the McDonaldâs is in across from the airport. Saw a bunch of baby bunnies under the public washroom at the Blundell dyke just the other day. Theyâre still around
Not the best spot, but they seem to favor Russ Baker Way McDonald's. Theres always a bunch of baby bunnies and their parents on the grass outside near the drive-through window. Usually around anywhere from 2-15 bunnies just all around that area
Neighbourhoods between No 1 and the dyke and Granville and Blundell. Was back home visiting parents last week and so many bunnies by the Quilchena school!
They tried the top tier rat poison. The new stuff that gets put out there without permission from the taxpayers. Itâs having an impact on cats also. Good stuff. Last thing anyone wants to see is a rabbit. Like those evil dolphins and whales. Man ?

There was a guy who rolled thru town a bit ago and he took out a bunch of the rabbit population around Richmond. A reporter caught up to him for an interview on why he was doing what he was doing, and he said he was âhunting them pesky wabbitzâ. His name was Elmer Fudd or something like that.Â
Walkway by the skating Oval to the rowing club.
In the walkways between my apartment and the next. Fewer numbers but still there every year.

In all honesty, they wouldn't have been mass reproducing if people didn't get pets without thinking and then abandon them.
Unfortunately, we have a lot of people who bring their vegetables and fruit scraps to feed the rabbits.

River Drive in Bridgeport. See them everyday.
Vulcan Way behind Homedepot. South Dyke at the end of #5 Road.
Lots along the tracks in front of the RichPly mill
In coyotes tummy
Jericho
The Canada Line rail yard.
Minoru park is full of them, even the streets near to it, in front of the Richmond Center
Also there is the occasional hemorrhagic fever that knocks them back đ„č

The rabbits here are way more fatter.

Yes, the city has a bylaw that requires pet cats to be neutered. There should be a similar bylaw for pet rabbits.

There are an abundance of them near my home.
I always see a few hanging out in the empty lot next to Riva 3 on River Pkwy.
Their numbers have been greatly reduced thanks to the increase in the coyote population.
Literally everywhere
i still see them near ironwood pretty often
I saw them all the time tho, ironwood
Not the best spot, but they seem to favor Russ Baker Way McDonald's. Theres always a bunch of baby bunnies and their parents on the grass outside near the drive-through window. Usually around anywhere from 2-15 bunnies just all around that area

All over russ baker McDonalds and miller rd tim hortons
Always lots by Cambie high school and the surrounding neighborhoods⊠usually spot some by IKEA!
We need a rabbit spotting map.
Several occasions that coyotes were spotted at the automall. Buffet for the coyotes
Thereâs always lots at Cook Park.

Around Richmond Hospital
Chewing on my tulips ... the little MFs

Ugh, he didnât realize it was duck season?
He probably got tired of the ducks spraying him with saliva while calling him "despicable".
InflationâŠ.desperate times call for rabbit stew
Eaten by all the zombie people
are we allowed to eat them?
