    Sadly I saw it yesterday, I have no idea where it is. How do you know it’s a domestic rabbit btw?

      Ears, face, eyes, overall condition. It’s a big squishy baby vs. the kinds of hares seen nearly everywhere on Earth. That little baby’s a domestic, and given the time of year probably one of the annual Easter bunny throw-away pets.

      Edit: Can you please go back and look for it, if only to give it to an animal rescue. I wasn’t kidding, they get their shit absolutely torn to shreds by both other domestic pets and wild animals. It’s like dropping a fat tourist into the middle of a warzone, the only thing that’s going to save its ass is someone sympathetic to its plight.

        FWIW, a lot of animal rescues won’t take rabbits. They have a surplus of them. I tried. A lot.

          I see this as a bonus.

          I absolutely hate how people treat rabbits as gerbils or goldfish though. Sure, they aren’t cats or dogs, but they are essentially a small step down.

          Could possibly be comparable to a cat but less of a liability.

          Aw damn, that’s too bad. Ironically, I’ve been in the same situation as OP before, but took the squishy little friend in. How many do you have ATM?

      It doesn’t look wild. A wild rabbit would bolt the moment it sees you.
