> [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > Google “rabbit rescue near me”. Why would he want a rabbit rescue near you? Wouldn’t he be better off with one near his house? 🤔 – Only knew three things about OBLs previous ‘owner’ - He was male (he was always skittish around men) - He hit him (when we got him I could go to scratch my ear or my nose, w/o even looking at the dog & he’d cower just from the hand coming up) - He left him tied up outside the vet, with a note, one morning before they opened. I really hoped to be out walking one day & have my dog cower when a certain male walked towards us. I’d ask if he was previously his dog, & if he answered yes, I’ve beat the shit outta him. ---

It’s been more than 24 hours since this thread was posted and now I am fearing for the OP. Looking at that cute, furry bunny, I can’t help but wonder if it is really a savage, limb-ripping, brain-sucking tentacled monster – I mean, look at the bones! – that has now had its way with the OP and family…and neighborhood. What other possibility could there be? ---

> [@Seanette](#): > > @Mean_Mr.Mustard, are you planning to keep the bunny? Bunny update… We still have him. His home is a large cardboard box padded with a towel. We do let him out to hop around on a blanket periodically. I have learned that kale is not the best food for him, but danged if he doesn’t eat it like I eat pistachios. Oh yeah, bunnies poop a lot. Virtually non-stop, actually. Recall that we found him on the side of the road next to a bag of kale. Today I mused aloud that a bunny who has the capacity to go to the grocery store and buy himself a bag of produce perhaps didn’t really need our aid. The missus was not amused. I’m also trying out different names for size: - Dennis Hopper - Bun E. Carlos - Jackrabbit Slim - Hare E. Potter - Hop Sing And finally, the best news of all. A family friend has agreed to adopt him. He is picking him up tomorrow morning. We even have a plan B - a local bunny rescue has agreed to accept him. Thanks for all the kind words. I’m sure that none of you would have kept on walking either. mmm ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > Dennis Hopper This. This is awesome. You can just call him Dennis, and when someone asks, “Why would you call a bunny Dennis?!”, when you provide the last name, it’s gold. As a bonus, when he inevitably chews something important or makes a mess you can call him Dennis the Menace. ---

> [@gnarator](#): > > we have two cats and a dog who would probably try to kill a rabbit That would make it a no-go for me; unless the rabbits can be kept somewhere there’s no chance whatsoever the cats or dog can get into the area – and they’d be trying, scent comes through doors. If they’re raised with rabbits as members of the household, both cats and dogs can be entirely safe with them. But if not, then for most they’ll be prey. My greatniece couldn’t bring her rabbits here, even if it would allow her to visit when she otherwise couldn’t, because my cats would absolutely not be safe around them. (I think rabbits also don’t travel well; but neither of us would consider it for that reason alone.) ---

Absolutely. A family member, who has had bunnies in the past and knows the drill, has adopted him. He is reportedly happy as a clam in his new home.
