Neighborhood buns? This is a domestic bun, and needs rescuing as they cannot survive on their own running rogue, and are easy meals for predators. Please contact your local rabbit rescue and help this guy 🥺 ~Your friendly neighborhood bun rescue volunteer <3
Oh, it was domestic once. Cottontails are invasive and firmly established here on Vancouver Island, since the 1960s. I'd say there's about 8 or so just around my home. They're infamous on the campus of University of Victoria, as this photo shows
I'm aware of the tragic feral populations in Canada. They're still a domesticated species even if they do continue to reproduce. It's highly unlikely, even if they've been around this long, that you're seeing the same rabbits but multiple generations at a time due to them being easily picked off:(
Oh yeah totally. I watch the new baby ones come every year, and find the patches of fur on all the common areas of the complex after some inevitably get eaten by cats, hawks, etc.
If you can capture and find good homes for some please do.Rabbit Island in Japan is also full of domestic buns that suffer greatly since their bodies haven't evolved to live outdoors for long periods like wild buns have due to(us silly) humans having domesticated/bred them for so long not to be. :(
