On the nature reserve where I'm doing my dissertation fieldwork. I noticed a cardboard box contaqining sawdust and a feed bowl and thought nothing of it (thinking that maybe someone re-leased a wild animal). Later as we were leaving I saw a pure white rabbit sitting under a buash. I walked right up to it and it only ran when I tried to pick it up. I think someone dumped it
So we (my dad and I) spent nearly 2 hours trying to coax it out and close enough to grab and put back in a box to take home. It's so noticable we think it might be much more likely to end up as fox food. It seems to have made itself at home in an old rabbit warren, there are four holes. We tried blocking three of them and waiting until it came out the fourth to grab it but we were unsuccessful and it was getting dark so we had to give up. Any ideas? I'd really like to help it. Anyone reckon it will survive ok? My dad wants to catch it, I think he'd like to look after it, he's a big softie. How do we catch it without scaring it too much or injuring it? I'm just not quick enough
