No it's really me...

It's that white rabbit I almost made roadkill about a week ago...

Must be somebody's pet...

Wow..when it all comes down..past the games...past the fighting..the war...all the problems of the world....it's really the little things in life that matter...like a rabbit..what's your girl's favorite dish...the weather outside....yeah..it's mellow...I like it, long live the bunny pictures...it really makes you think..kinda like when they say watching fish swim makes you feel relaxed.

Nick, that's definately someone's pet. Albino rabbits don't exist in the wild and it's too fat to have been living in the wild its whole life. You should probably see if one of your neighbors lost a pet.

He kinda looks like my rabbit.. :)

It's gone now, hopped away somewhere... :(

Nobody here was looking for a lost rabbit. And there's at least 3 of them running around here...

It looks like it's adapting to the wild life, though. I saw it eating bushes and stuff...

That probably doesn't mean anything. My rabbit does the ear thing too sometimes and he's perfectly fine.

It looks like he can't move it at all... :(

WTH do rabbits like to eat anyway? This one doesn't seem to like carrots...

My rabbit likes to eat Celery, Apples, and Strawberries. I dunno what yours would wanna eat, but if he doesn't run away from you he was probably domestic at some point.

Rabbits will eat most veg' also dried food might be what he's used to?
Try some bran flakes or something if he wont eat carrots?
Can you catch him and get him to a vet for a check up?
Domestic bunnies do 'go native' if let into the wild, but he wont know how to evade predators, and wild bunnies hide during the day, so if he hasn't already started acting like a wild rabbit, he hasn't got much of a chance.
Besides, white albino bunny, will get eaten by a local dog/ run over by a car or something.
Catch him and help him out Nick.
Rabbits make the best pets!

That's the problem, it acts kinda crazy...
He'll come a bit close for the carrot, then run away scared...

Right now, this rabbit is sleeping on the front lawn of the neighbour, definitely not hiding...

Another pic ( excuse the jpg morph ):

See the right ear? He never moves it... :(

EDIT : Oh, I almost ran him ( or another similar one ) over a week ago... He ran right across in front of me...

That's not a joke... I'm more afraid of somebody catching it for dinner than it being run over... :(

Looking at his ear, some pet rabbits do have one ear up and one down (I think its a fault if you're showing them) so it might not be an injury?

But he is certainly not a wild rabbit! Well unles they're loads different there from the little grey-brown ones we have?

But I seriously dont rate his chances if you dont catch him. He obviously looking for human company or you wouldnt get near him.
So, if it were me, Id want to catch bugs and see him safe in a new home!

Project Wabbit.

They really hate being chased (Of course they're wabbits!)
So, you gotta gently herd him into an area you've enclosed, gradually close him in, then immediately put him in a big cage/pen/hutch/your house.

If that method is not an option, then you want to get a blanket over him and grab him gently. Dont grab his ears (It hurts them, and can damage they necks) Dont try and hold him for to long, he will be able to give you quite a nip if you piss him off too much. Even a good kick can sting. So get him into a big box or something straight away!

Most important, he is hanging around because he realises that people are his friends. Dont scare him or he'll fuck off and find somewhere else to get fed.

Don't worry, he'll probably come back again. Leave out a small dish with assorted fruits and vegetables and then watch from a window and see if he eats it. Chances are he'll eat if he doesn't thing he's being watched. Natural instinct it be. ;)

He came back already, to sleep in the same spot...
He doesn't like to be caught I guess...He'll let you come like within 8' , then bolt...
I left out some lettuce and carrots...

I could see he was cold... :(

Good luck catching him Nick.
Dont give up!
Block his exit once he's in your garden. Do you have fences around your garden? Can you block him in?

He's always on the front lawn, nowhere to corner him...
He ran away somewhere again ( tried to catch him for the 3rd time, he's one fast bugger ), but he always comes back so far...
Left out a lot of food out there so he will be back again. Some of the food is in a Blue Box on its side...
I'll have to check under my car when I go to work tommorrow, I woudn't want to run him over...
