Answer 3

If you need to catch your rabbit for some reason, the best way to do it is in a way that keeps your rabbit safe! Rabbits are very sensitive to stress and panic, and chasing your rabbit around can lead it to injure itself or become sick from stress. Rabbits also injure easily: their bones break easily, and their skin tears easily -- more so than other animals! So be careful!

There are a couple of ways to catch a rabbit.

- One person writes: Try to herd your rabbit to get it where you want it to go. That's the best way to catch a rabbit because it leaves the rabbit on floor level, where it's safest. If you have to pick the rabbit up, try to remain calm in your attitude, and hold the rabbit in a safe way: make sure its hind legs are always supported, because if a rabbit panics and kicks into free air, it can break its own back. If the rabbit is really nervous, covering its eyes can help to calm it. Look online for videos and images of how to hold a rabbit correctly.

- Another person writes: The easiest is to get a human trap and something that bunnies like.

Answer 4

You can catch a bunny by taking a clip and attach it on a piece of string, then put some carrots or lettuce on the clip. Throw the string inthe place you think the bunny or rabbit is, be patient and wait for couple of mins or hrs. Pull the string out, if the food you have place on the clip is gone or nibbled, you know you have a bunny there.go in the same spot and then wait for a bunny to jump out then carefully carry it inside, it's hard and it takes patience and alot of try's!

Good luck!

Answer 5

Pet RabbitsMost rabbits panic easily, and when they panic they often hurt themselves. Maintaining the rabbit's sense of security should be your top priority.

Try to coax your rabbit by staying calm, speaking in a low but pleasant voice, moving slowly and deliberately, and sort of "herding" the rabbit to where you want it to go.

If you need to pick the rabbit up, be careful. Use a secure but gentle hand. Make sure you support the hind legs/lower back. Rabbits have strong hind legs: if it kicks out while you're holding it, you might drop it, or it could even strain or break its own back with a hard kick. Don't kiss or snuggle with the rabbit: just do what you have to do calmly and quickly.

See the related link (a video about how to pick up a rabbit) below to see one method. Another Suggestion: Cover the eyes with one hand and slowly try picking it up from behind.

Wild RabbitsYou should not try to catch wild rabbits. If you think a wild rabbit is injured or ill, contact your local animal authorities and/or wildlife trap and rehab organization. If rabbits are a pest on your land and you want to get rid of them, or if you want to hunt rabbits, you should contact your local authorities beforehand: they can recommend approved methods and tell you what (if any) methods are illegal. There are probably many resources online that can help you, too. If you find an unknown pet rabbit outsideAbandoned and escaped pet rabbits should be captured because:

• Domestic rabbits have lost many of their wild instincts and they don't know how to properly care for themselves
• Wherever you are may not be an appropriate habitat for the species (the European Rabbit)
• Rabbits reproduce quickly and can quickly overpopulate an area

Look for a local rabbit rescue group, or official agency for lost pets, or "no-kill" animal shelter you can contact for help. Look online for resources, too.

Try to coax the rabbit to you with food. Don't offer them commercial human food. Foods high in carbs or sugars can be very dangerous for rabbits. Acceptable foods include:

• hay
• carrot greens (including a few small chunks of carrot)
• fresh dandelions (greens, flowers, stems)
• fresh herbs: cilantro, mint, thyme, rosemary, parsley
• dark lettuces: romaine, green leaf, red leaf, spinach
• small amounts of fruit: apple, blueberry, strawberry, papaya (fresh papaya greens are great, too), pineapple, banana or grape (tiny amount)
• tiny amount of whole oat groats (not rolled oats, oatmeal, etc.)

Don't hover over the food. Sit back and let the rabbit come. It could turn out docile! Have a large carrier nearby. Try to swoop the rabbit inside; another method is to "kettle" (a few of you slowly surround the eating rabbit and corral it into the carrier). Throw a towel over the carrier once the rabbit's inside, this might help calm it down.
