Post bunny pics, post questions about rabbits, almost anything rabbit or hare-related goes (whether wild or domestic). "Almost" because this is a community for bunny enjoyers—no images of dead or injured rabbits, please.

Not officially affiliated with any rabbit subreddits.

House Rabbit Society is overall a fantastic resource on pet rabbits: info on diets, health, vet care, adopting bunnies, and behavior.

As of now, if you follow all 4 bunny communities (the above 3 plus this one), you will see little to no post overlap/crossposting, so you can safely follow all 4 without getting your feed spammed with several copies of the same bunny.

TL;DR:

    1. Give them somewhere they can hide and take shelter. This doesn't necessarily mean construction with wood and hammers, it can be growing a bush, leaving sticks and brush piles around, or letting grass grow tall.
    1. Plant stuff they like to eat. Lettuce, carrots, clover, raspberries, blackberries; stuff with bark during the winter.
    1. Give them water to drink.
    1. Help them stay safe from predators. Item 1, giving shelter, is probably the best you can do for wild predators. Dogs and cats also prey on rabbits. Article says to keep cats indoors, and use a fence to keep dogs in a certain area because rabbits are smart enough to know they'll be safe due to the fence.

And because it is a TL;DR of the article, article also reminds people about neighbors that may not want rabbits around, especially in case the rabbits eat things they are growing, and that they might take various actions to repel rabbits, counteracting your efforts. Matters way less if you have a big area or are far away from your neighbors—if rabbits coming to your place won't necessarily mean they have a good chance to visit your neighbor too.

I've been doing native gardening the past 8 years. I rarely mow my yard, let's wild stuff spring up and my wildlife has been crazy.

I had a family of bunnies last year. Hope they're okay, kept seeing them hide in my prairie patches
