Damn rabbits

[brutal]

Might want mind that if at all possible. I know this because my mother's dog eats baby bunnies like chicken wings & suffered the effects. The unique collection of flora/fauna in the rabbits gut can then settle in the dog's intestinal track & from there the bacteria & parasites can readily be transfered to people by licking, sharing quarters, etc. You can medicate for Giardia but other diseases such as Cryptosporidium (while rare) is chronic. Just thought I'd mention it.

I had just asked her: 'Who eats all the bitty bunnies?'
This smile was her reply.

Friend's Lab mostly just eats their brains. The barn cats eat pretty much everything except I think he said the gall bladder and maybe the gut.

This guy eats some, but kills them all. We take a little flack from neighbors with kids who have witnessed the carnage. But since I have no bunny (or rodent) problems, flack be damned.

Wife's friend has a cat that is some kind of Serval hybrid. That cat kills everything. I'm not sure what it eats, but it keeps the squirrel's heads as trophies. She just finds the headless bodies in the house.

I worked in Aspen one summer and stayed in a house on a ranch down valley in El Jebel. There was a farm cat that we would see while sitting on the deck and it would disappear in to the field and eventually you would see it sitting on top of a fence post ripping apart a mouse or a gopher. When it was done eating it would drop the head off for us on the deck.

I'm not a good storyteller and too lazy to type much but here's my best bunny story.

There's a lake in new Mexico that have visited for the last 20 or so years. Long before we all got our own campers, following the first few years of tent camping, we would rent trailers (old mobile homes) from the Marina concessionaire. We once stayed in one of the trailers that had some seasonal campers full timing it on the other side of the lane. An older couple, whose granddaughter spent much of her summer with them. They had a cat. Said cat had a ramp leading into the camper, some sort of pet door in a window as I recall. One evening, we watched that cat haul a bunny into the camper. The next time we saw the couple, we asked about the (assumed dead) bunny. Turns out the cat had brought it into the camper alive and must have made it into a game. They said there was blood and fur everywhere. Poor folks, I think it took them forever to clean up that bloody mess.

You need a Beagle.



Popcorn will hunt bunnies all night long.



And squirrels.

Despite the killer instinct, she is a sweet girl.
