Lost bunny

I just went outside to top up Peter and Tibb's hay, and Tibbs is gone!!! There's a tiny scrape, not even a proper hole, between the wire floor panels but it barely looks big enough to let Peter through, let alone Tibbs. I can't see how she can have got through that.

I don't know what to do. They were fine last night, and I assume they were okay when my FIL gave them their food this morning, or he'd have said something. I'm in on my own and LPM isn't well so I can't even go out and look for her. I've looked round the garden and in some nearby hidey holes, but there's so many cats and dogs round here I can't see that there's much hope. What am I going to do? My baby bun....

Ohh no Kathy I am sorry :(can you leave the hutch open and move peter somewhere else secure? if not I can bring down out trap to set with food, you never know. I do hope she comes back!!!

Oh no Poor Tibbs, I'm sure she'll come back, it's happened to a couple of people, RachelD being one. I'd maybe give it 24 hours before you print out any leaflets, or start calling rescues/vets. If she's hungry, she'll most likely come back, if not, we'll start a task force tomorrow. I'll make you a leaflet to put up, if you like, and you can ring around, can your FIL go look for her?

Kathy, try not to worry too much just yet x

I'm desperate to get out and look for her but I can't leave Jack. He's asleep now but I don't want to leave him. Last time she wandered off she was in the orchard and I'm just praying that's where she's gone this time, and that my cats are too old and fat and toothless to hurt her.

Oh no, I'm sorry Kathy, what a worry.

I really hope she comes back soon, if she's done it before, maybe she'll be back this time too.

Sending lots of homing vibes for Tibbs

OMG !

I hope you find her, I really hope she comes home soon. What a worry.

Please keep us updated.

Oh Kathy, what a worry. You must be frantic, I remember when my trio got out, thankfully they are all too lazy to wander off and came back at the first hint of food. Would she recognise a rattle of a food tin or something? How tame is she?

Quite often they do come back of their own accord. I hope she makes it back safely.

Oh no Kathy. Hopefully she will wander back soon. Fingers crossed!

Really hope Tibbs finds her way back home safely...hope you get to check the Orchard!

Naugthy Tibb bunny!Lots of come home soon vibes heading your way!

thank god, thank god, she's back and safe. We found her by the road - actually I didn't find her at all. Quick relay of a conversation between my FIL and BIL as they drove home:

Nick: You don't see many black and white rabbits round here do you?
James: No, I've never seen one before. Except Kathy's.

<pause>

<screech of brakes>

<sound of landrover reversing very fast>

Oh Kathy - I am so so so happy for you that Tibbs is back where she belongs

The little moo - was she thumbing a lift

I am sure I have gone even more grey since the rabbits arrived. Don't they just love to keep us on our toes

I am sure she will be glad to be reunited with Peter

Ohh I am glad you found her, and she's back !! What a norty girl!!

How did I miss this thread? I'm so glad that she is back safe and sound! Phew!

Thank goodness for that. I really felt for you. My lot have escaped a few times but have never left the back garden. It is the most amazingly gut wrenching feeling. Hugs to you. xx

Oh thank god!!

Naughty little madam! She didnt have all her belongings wrapped in a hankie on a stick over her shoulder did she???

Thank god she was found when she was.

Give her a stern talking to from me too..... (not that my stern talks are ever paid attention to)

What a relief for you! I can't imagine what that feels like when you realise they've gone.

So glad she's back with you.

I'm a bit slow on this, but thank god she's back ! What fortunate luck that they saw her and got her home safe and sound. Such a scary event for the both of you!

Oh my (sorry I'm also late)
I'm so pleased she is home safe and sound, that is such good luck that your FIL and BIL spotted her.
These buns really do have us worrying don't they!
Hugs

Phewww, I was worried about Tibbs since yesterday, so glad she's home

Sorry but that did make me laugh!
I'm so pleased you got her back safe and sound

They are a bit of a comedy double act those too. Apparently she was just sitting by the side of the road, stretching up to eat primroses from the hedgebank.... Only about ten yards down the lane, but OMG!!!!

She'll probably keep doing it. I was so relieved to see her last night I gave her a massive bunch of M&S coriander I was going to use in a curry tonight. Now she'll think, hmm escape=nomnomnomnom.....
