Yep It was me! I do not raise rabbits any longer though!

I did however have a pair of females and one male that roamed wherever they chose to go. They chose to go everywhere the Chickens went. They also came when called, Believe it or not! The females though became a problem when they found out they could burrow under the barn and created tunnels everywhere. So I had to confine them in there hutches which I found to be unbearable for them! I so hate to see a creature in a wire enclosure, that isnt big enough for them to run and jump naturally. I found that they would breed when loose and have babies that were wild. but when they bred in captivity and were hutch bound they became very sullen and inactive and babies were born dead or no babies at all. So I found home for the does and kept "Wrabbit" my little Buck. To this day he wonders with the Chickens where ever they go, and comes back t o the barn with them at night!
