I normally write about my ferrets but tonite outside in my yard my dogs discovered a little rabbit. I heard it cry out in fear and thought for sure it was a little ferret trapped somewhere. I happened to look out the window and saw my dogs sniffing a furry white lump laying as if dead. I ran like a she-demon and scooped it up finding it was a little rabbit. He laid in my arms for over an hour refusing water or anything. Then later he started to lick my thumb and calm down. I really think he was just scared to death. The problem is I can't get thru to the humane society until tomorrow as they are closed now. I happen to have a whole huge bin of rabbit pellets because that was what I used to build my ferret playbox<G> Just lucky I guess. I have brought the rabbit into the spare room and emptied out all the ferrets from here. I gave LBL (Little baby lost) a bowl of water and a bowl of pellets and a water bottle as well. He seems ok now (if it is a he) anyone know how to tell if it's a boy or a girl? My need is more info on what I should do to care for this little guy until we find the owners or an adoted family. If you have rabbits and can help please e-mail me right away. If you know of another area on the net that helps me with this please tell me where.
