Did this bunny ever find a home?

I found a rabbit in a park in downtown Chicago near Balbo Ave. He followed me down the street and I could not resist. I named the bunny Balbo. He wasn’t trained and was an avid leg humper and biter. I took him to a no kill shelter.
I must say, if I was a bunny rescued by you, I would not want to leave all the swank accomodations. But I’m glad he found his owner.

Being your pet must be awesome. Hope you find him a good home!

Aw… he reminds me of my darling lop bunny, who died a few years back. Any luck finding his owners?

If not, are you coming out to Ithaca, NY anytime soon?? I’m a grad student and would love a bunny to keep me company the next school year!

Aww, you are so sweet for doing this Anna! I hope you find a good gome for Herr Kanin.

BTW/ in my last comment i did not mean to imply that you are feeding it iceberg. The supermarket will give you all it’s green trimmings for free for the rabbit if you decided to keep it.

From the discoloration of the rabbits feet it looks like it was living in feces and not cared for. It’s likely that the rabbit could live in the park, nibbling it’s way around the park until a hawk ate it.

@Oliver: Your dog is a cutie! And yes, they do look alike. :)

@Bethany Joy: Nope, no calls from the fliers. I’m not surprised. I really doubt the rabbit was “lost”.

@Missy: Awww! Oreo is sweet. I’m glad you took him in! :) I’ve already contacted both local chapters of the House Rabbit Society (even though they cannot take in any stray rabbits), but they have not responded to my inquiries for advice or networking suggestions. Too bad.

@dew i: The rats you see in the subway — Norway rats — are the same species as what people have as pets. There’s no difference other than color and opportunity. For what it’s worth, I think the ones in the subway are “cute”, too. I don’t discriminate. What I care about are animals being treated fairly. Go ahead and let your head spin.

I used to be a rabbit owner . DO NOT feed a rabbit Iceberg lettuce It gives them horrible diarrhea.
Dark leafy greens,carrots, apples along with their pellets.
and timothy hay is the best diet.

My head is still spinning from you rescuing “Rats”. I know, i know, they were the cute domesticated ones, not the diseased Manhattan garbage eating rats.

PS – maybe your area has a local House Rabbit Society. They take rescued buns to find homes.

Oh my! We found a bunny once, but we kept her! She is called Oreo and was left in her cage with a free sign on Valentine’s Day. I know it is not always possible to keep found pets, but I love having a bun!

Makes me miss my bunny I had growing up. I found a Holland Lop rabbit in our old neighborhood, and my sister kept it. People must just be dumb and think they can fend for themselves. I live in Phoenix (so many coyotes) so it didn’t stand a chance.

Anyone call from the flyers?

That rabbit looks like my dog.

If you can’t find a home, I would love for him to meet my bunny to see if they would be friends!

@Jake: I will definitely reach out to BARC’s contacts if local resources don’t work out!

@Sammi: I don’t think they have any interest in becoming rabbit owners.

@Adele: Toronto isn’t so far. Road trip! ;)

@jan: Wow, that is really sad to hear. It boggles my mind that there are people who do that without a second though!

we have a HUGE feral rabbit problem in my city. they run loose everywhere. people buy them as pets and then decide they can’t keep them. it’s sad, really sad. everyday almost we see rabbits running around nibbling on grass. our city has finally banned the sale of them at pet stores. good luck finding a home for her.

Omigosh, I LOVE rabbits. They’re some of the smartest, sweetest pets ever, and this guy is so cute! I would definitely take him except for the whole “I’m in Texas” problem. :) I hope you find a good home for him anyway! (Also your sign for the Lost Bunny is so cute).

It’s so sweet of you to take him in. Even if it’s only temporary. I would do the same thing. I’m a total sucker when it comes to helping animals. Wish I was closer so I could take him off your hands until he found a new home (no allergies here. Had lots of rabbits growing up).

Hope you’re able to find him somewhere soon. He’s such a cutie.
