How can I catch a wild rabbit?

My father used to catch wild rabbits for me when i was little, and we would ';domesticate'; them, so to speak. it was a cheap way of doing it, but it worked.


Now, how do i catch them myself, without harming them?How can I catch a wild rabbit?
In a word - don't. Wild rabbits are wild - that means that even if you ';domesticate'; them, they are still going to have their wild instincts first. The rabbits you can get from the pet store or from a breeder have been domesticated for centuries - there's a fair bit of difference. Secondly, catching a wild animal and keeping it locked up is a bit different than buying a rabbit who has always lived in captivity - you can bet that the wild rabbit is not going to be as happy about the situation. Wild rabbits can also carry diseases and various pests - mites, ticks, etc. which could harm you or any other pets you might have.





Finally, there are loads of unwanted pet rabbits out there! If you aren't willing to shell out the $30-$40 for a pet rabbit from the pet store, try adopting one - you can often find them free to a good home! We found our third bunny at a pet store as someone's return - already neutered and the most loveable sap you can imagine.How can I catch a wild rabbit?
You were little. He probably caught a stuffed animal that was a rabbit. And you fell for it!
