Title: Domestic Rabbits
Post by: sdiguana on September 29, 2012, 06:56:43 PM: Are there any good spots for Domestic Rabbit that anyone would care to share? I'm trying to train a sighthound (whippet) pup and would like to occasionally take a few as training material for him. Do the domestics burrow into warrens here like they do in the UK? anyone use ferrets to catch em?

cheers

See them at dawn and dusk in peoples yards, crossing the street, etc. Probably a big part of the reason that the neighbor came by yesterday when I was working outside to tell me he saw a coyote run across the street the other day.
