Title: My daughter needs help live catching domestic rabbits.
Post by: Badhabit on June 03, 2018, 10:05:46 AM: She lives in Seatac and about two weeks ago about 8-9 domestic rabbits started hanging out in her neighborhood. She and a couple of neighbors would like someone to live catch them or help or teach them how to live catch them so they can be rehomed. Any information so she can contact someone would be appreciated.

Rehoming feral rabbits is tough. If they have a little bit of wild in them, they won’t make good pets and They’re expensive to have neutered or spayed.

Re-home ..................... not suggested, not a good idea. I'm thinking re-home to the pot :EAT:

The Humane Society will adopt out Bunnies.
I would think they would go fast, if they aren't too Waskally. :chuckle:
Good Luck! (I too have had good results using my seldom used Salmon Net.)

Not always a bad idea. They spread disease like wildfire.
