My girlfriend had to move unexpectedly and had to house her baby (9wk lop) outdoors in an enclosure. During the haste of the move and trying to get bunnies settled and such...the lil man dug his way out of his pen and escaped.

It's been 3 days. And no sign of him.

We have fliers, a reward flyer, postings on Craigslist and Facebook. So far no bites. We have put treats and food out by his cage too.

We are running out of hope, he is so little and in a new environment and this isn't looking like there will be a happy ending.

Do you guys have any other suggestions, something we might be missing to try to help him find his way home??:sosad
 
I'm sorry to hear that. I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestions, just keep looking, under bushes etc, it may help to get down to bunny level to see the cool hidey holes. Best wishes in finding him.

I've always thought it was so silly how so many rabbit runs etc are sold without some sort of bottom on them, when rabbits are clearly good diggers.
 
I'm assuming you also checked local shelters? Other than that I can't really think of anything else. I'm sorry.
 
Can you get one of those live animal traps? Sometimes animal shelters loan them out if you don't want to buy one, but honestly after 4 days I think it might be too late.

I'm so sad to think that it's too late. I feel so helpless. This lil guy doesn't deserve to be sacrificed to the cold and unknown predators. I'm praying someone found him and doesn't want to give him up. Sigh.

I'll inquire with the shelters to see if we can get a trap. I suppose it's worth a shot. Thank you.
 
Thanks for all your prayers, we think the lil guy has either been taken by a neighbor (he is awful cute) or...the worst, since he was so little and can't fend for himself :( at any rate, we have given up the search, will continue to keep our fliers and our lost ads up and hope someone contacts us. Sad day. :cry2
 
I'm sorry to hear that, but you are right, after 5 days, the chances are very slim indeed.

As smart as I think bunnies are, they are pretty "dumb" not to come back when they get out. I never worry about my cats, my family never worries about their dogs, but bunnies?? Sigh. Wish they had sense to come home.

Say a little prayer for the lil guy.
 
Yea!! I'm so glad he's okay!:bunnydance: Now I feel bad about when I said before that after 4 days it might be too late. It's a good thing you kept looking!
 
I just saw your update on Craigslist. I am so happy you found him. Now if I can just find the family missing the guy staying at my house.......

Don't feel bad, we were all thinking the same thing...a 9 week old bunny out with the racoons and bigger cats and such...yeah, not a good scene. But I didn't completely lose faith and I am soooo happy he is home with his mama now :)
 
I do so love a happy ending and am delighted you have found him again. He is one lucky little boy but I´m sure he´s been hugged and kissed enough to last him a lifetime lol.

How about a photo of this cute little guy pleeeassse :bunnydance:
 
such a cute little guy, great pics and a super cute little face. Hope he´s settled down again and won´t have a chance to get out again..hope he´s learned his lesson :thumbup
