Default Rabbits

Hi Kathy,
I've never tried to trap a rabbit, but I do have two of my own and am
fostering another four due to fires in my area. if you do manage to trap
some, wear leather gloves and a thick long-sleeved shirt. They bite and can
really kick something awesome. Grab them by the scruff of the neck( just
behind the ears) and slip a hand under the butt, to lift them. If you wish
to tame them, they're going to take a fair amount of work and expense.
Cages, food and hay don't come cheap! You need to check Google for some
websites on rabbits before you make a decision. They can make wonderful
pets, but taming a wild one may be more work and heartache( if they die in
captivity) than you are willing to undertake.

You could try trapping them and selling them as pets to 4H'rs. Other than
that, the chicken wire sounds best.
