So… is this a wild or escaped/set free/ domestic rabbit?

Domestic. And it's yours now!

Hopefully we’ll be able to catch it

I hope so, he is so pretty. It would be sad if he were taken by a predator. Looking at your pictures, he looks like a heavy breed. Like I said before I think he's a meat rabbit (not that you have to eat him or anything, just that that's what he looks like). Is he as big as he looks?

It's a domesticated rabbit. Probably dumped like the others said. Poor babies.

If it’s domesticated, I will most likely be able to get it : D

Most likely the other two haven’t been caught yet. I asked my neighbor the stuff a few days ago and he said he’s been feeding them, indicating that they’re still alive…

I would agree people usually keep couples, same gender mostly fight.

i was writing out three different responses for this, but I decided this would make it much simpler:

Yes, he mostly is : D

I wish I could use two different reactions for that!
SO MANY BABBITS

If you catch them, check gender within the first few hours. You wouldn't want to pen up a nursing doe and leave hungry bunnies, but you can be very confident that a buck is not nursing bunnies!

If you do catch a doe, you might be able to tell if she's nursing or not by looking at her underside-- they usually pull out fur near the nipples when they give birth, to make it easy for bunnies to nurse, so the nipples on a nursing doe will tend to be fairly obvious.

Bunnies usually nurse only one or two times a day, so you have a bit of time to think if you do catch a nursing doe (no need to let her go that instant-- you might be able to find a nest of bunnies and catch them too, or use the doe in a cage to lure bunnies out of hiding, depending on their age.)

I think there's a good chance the black one is either a buck or relatively young or maybe both, since mature does often get a big dewlap under the chin. But that's a guess, and I could easily be wrong.

them, as in all 3? or just this one?

i dont think theres a nest at them moment, but i could also be wrong. I've looked around where its stayed and havent seen anything.

Thanks for the info : D
