A Visitor...



So for the last month, my rabbitry has been getting a visitor.... Someone's pet rabbit that must have gotten loose (or was set free...). He's a chestnut colored crossbreed, with a white stripe down his nose, so he either has Dutch or the vienna gene behind him. The little mooch has been enjoying the feed that drops on the ground, and all the hay under my hanging cages. He's also made several borrows under my hanging cages. He's even accidently gotten locked in with my rabbits over night a few times, as he hides behind the cages till we're gone. He's also been driving my dog, Roxy, crazy, who keeps trying to let me know that there is a rabbit loose.
Today, while I was feeding, I saw him hop into one of my buildings to escape the snow (yes, it's April, and it was snowing here today...). I quickly shut both doors, and got a flashlight. Took me a bit of manuvering, however I managed to catch him! Since he's been on his own for the last month and really wild now (has been chased numerous times by Roxy), my dad took him not far from our home, and set him loose in the woods.
