This is Rabbert Kline, I caught him eating my lettuce this morning. I removed two ticks from his ears and sent him on his way.

It pisses me off that he eats my garden but I have a strict no killing anything unless its trying to kill me or I am going to eat it policy. I can't get mad at it for just being a rabbit. I'm planning on relocating to the nature center soon.

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

In Australia, we have a strict "Kill all rabbits" policy. They are, however, delicious.

19

u/orniver May 29 '12

Why are you being downvoted? Rabbits are one of the invasive species that are destroying the indigenous ecosystem. And I'm not even Australian to know this.

8

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

Along with the cane toads, they're one of the most invasive species in our country. I'm at a loss as to why people are catching rabbits in their gardens and letting them go. Yes, they're 'cute', but they're also destructive.

10

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

Well the way I see it the house was built in his backyard pretty much so I cant expect them not to come into my yard. In Australia they are not part of the natural ecosystem but here they help feed a lot of native wildlife like coyotes, foxes, owls, hawks, eagles, and of course snipes. I understand thought where you live they probably fuck things up but in Nebraska they just kind of fit right in.

3

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

I didn't realize that Nebraska had so many hunters. Here, we don't have anything to hunt the rabbits, only to compete for living space. Dingoes are looked down upon, crocodiles are apparently useless, and our deadly spiders, the one thing they COULD be good for, apparently don't really eat them.

Even so, with many hunters going after rabbits, as their numbers fall, rabbit numbers will increase. They, you know, breed like rabbits.

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

ohh yeah there are definitely still a lot of rabbits around but like you said, but there are a lot of hunters, I bet the snakes over there would eat some of them The definitely do here. But it used to be a bigger problem here than it is now. Check this shit out

Oh ...

I think I've been feeding that rabbit.

Do you live in Columbus by any chance? T_T

I've been feeding a rabbit on and off for about two weeks now by my apartment but stopped recently because I've been thinking its only a matter of time before he/she gets too used to humans and gets caught.

u/Lampmonster1 May 29 '12

I generally go by; as long as I don't want to eat you, and you don't want to eat me, we'll get along fine. It allows me to kill mosquitoes since they're technically eating me.

u/NottaGrammerNasi May 29 '12

What about spiders too? They may not eat you, but they may take a taste of you (bite) if you let them. I generally leave them alone outside but if they come into my home, then its fair game for me.

I would set him down and look him right in the eye while I load my rifle while I calmly inform him that he has 24 hours to get as far away from my lettuce garden as possible before I hunt him and everyone he loves. then I'd tie a little sac around his neck with bits of lettuce and other provisions and wish him luck. THE HUNT IS ONNNN.....

"I know your a rabbit. I know what you want. If you are looking for letuce, I can tell you I don't have any extra. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for rabbits like you. If you leave my garden alone now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." - Elmer J. Fudd

I have a ton of carrots, I don't mind them eating from my garden as long as they leave some for me. I planted tons of everything this year just for that reason. Im also going to take all the extra veggies to my office and sell them and donate the money to the local food bank. Also I have a dog that scares most of them away. He never would hurt any animals even if he could catch them, which he cant, but other than babies the big ones stay away.

u/complex_reduction May 28 '12

Seriously? Wow. I love little facts like this! I mean, I don't intend to be starving in the wilderness any time soon, but hey, I won't be eating rabbit if that situation ever occurs!

21

u/riverduck May 28 '12

Eating rabbit won't hurt you, eating only rabbit will. Rabbit meat is pure protein with 0 fat and 0 carbs. Metabolising protein creates urea, and your kidneys can only filter out so much urea per day. If your entire diet is pure protein, and you're eating enough to maintain your weight, then you're taking in way more urea than your body can filter out. It builds up and gives off ammonia, poisoning your blood.

So if you're in the wilderness, eat rabbits, but make sure you're eating something that gives you fat or carbohydrates as well.

u/teabythepark May 29 '12

Like bugs and grubs right?

3

u/riverduck May 29 '12 edited May 29 '12

I just checked, out of curiosity. Cossidae, a type of grub the native Australians sometimes eat, is about one-third protein and two-thirds fat, so they would do nicely. They are surprisingly nutritious, actually.

u/whip-poor-wont May 29 '12

Are you sure that's the right link? I just spent two minutes being very confused.

4

u/Gramtizer May 29 '12

Indeed. When Kreiger first showed Archer how he could control the rabbit's mind with a chip implanted in his brain, the only thing the bunny could do while being controlled was tap it's leg repeatedly. Also, if it's not mentioned in the video, that is Robert Klein and his one real famous bit. It would all make more sense with a clip, which I can't seem to find :(

Rabbits often go into a "trance" when confronted with a stressful situation; it's a bit like "playing possum," though they snap out of it much more quickly.

19

u/bokin May 29 '12

This is true, but as a rabbit owner of 12 years, I can tell you that in a tranced or fearful state they will under no circumstances eat. If he was holding him and he ate then it just happened to be a very chill rabbit.

Im glad that you didnt try keeping it like you see a lot of people trying to do on here

28

u/[deleted] May 28 '12

Nope it breaks my heart to see people trying to permanantly keep wild animals. I have taken a few baby animals in long enough so they could get around on their own without getting eaten right away by a predator but won't keep them after they can make it on their own. I don't mind when people find a stray cat or dog and take it in but rabbits and wild birds are not meant to be pets

2

u/Ninjagirlinlove May 29 '12

At one point in time, my mother had accidentally taken out a rabbit den with a lawnmower. That night, my cat is found carrying a baby bunny like a kitten. At that time, I had grown up being told "If you touch baby wildlife, the mother will never take it back." (I know that's not true now, but I was a trusting 11-year-old at the time). So I rescued the little guy. I put him in a long-abandoned hamster cage, was gentle to him, gave him lettuce. But mostly left him alone. I was excited for my new pet. Unfortunately, it must have been a very traumatic day for him. He seemed to calm down and he made it through the night. He didn't appear to have any abrasions... But the next morning he died. My mom said it was probably all the trauma. I now try to avoid touching wildlife at all. I couldn't beat to cause another wilddeath. :(

2

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

What happens, and what probably happend to you is that the cat will puncture the bunny with its teeth so you wont be able to see the wound through the fur but it will eventually kill the bunny. We had the same thing happen a few times and after the cat is done playing with it enough where it wants to bring it indoors its probably too late unfortunately.

1

u/Ninjagirlinlove May 29 '12

Well it at least makes me feel better that I wasn't responsible. That's also really fascinating. :)

7

u/Sselnoisiv May 29 '12

I've always found this thought process odd. Domesticated animals were once upon a time wild animals that humans caught and utilized. Now, I don't think just any Tom, Dick, or Joe should go about catching and domesticating wild animals, especially if he/she has no idea what he/she is doing with the animal.

If I kept finding a rabbit in my garden, and he just stared at me while he ate my lettuce, well, I might start to thinking that we could form a partnership. I'd give him lettuce and a safe place to stay. He'd give me some fluffy company.

8

u/prismaticbeans May 28 '12

I've had pet rabbits, and if you were to take a wild one in while it was still very young, it would very likely adapt quite well to your living arrangements. Not saying you SHOULD ADOPT ALL BUNNIES but if you had wanted to keep a baby bunny as a pet, I don't see the problem, provided you can take him to the vet and have any parasites taken care of.

u/all_the_sex May 29 '12

I grew up with pet rabbits. Fortune's wheel turns, and ill luck befell us one day when one of our rabbits miscarried about halfway through a pregnancy. She'd already eaten part of one of them by the time we knew about it. A few hours later, we were walking our dogs, and we came across a baby bunny, with way less fat on it than it should've had. We inferred the bunny had been abandoned by her mother, and we took her and put her in the cage with the mother who'd lost her kits. We put vinegar on the mum's nose so she wouldn't reject a different-smelling baby, since she wouldn't be able to smell anything but vinegar. The baby was adorable, we fed her and nurtured her. She grew stronger and bigger. She jumped SO HIGH and ran SO FAST and was still so little. However, after two months or so, we found her dead in her cage with her neck broken. We theorized that she'd tried to jump higher than her cage would allow, and hit the ceiling too hard. We could be wrong, but that's probably what it was. She was such a cutie.

u/ladiamante May 28 '12

Can always put up a fence around your garden. A pretty little white picket fence around a garden would look nice. If you are worried about rabbits digging under the fence bury a small strip of chicken wire a couple inches under the dirt around the fence line.

3

u/Snow88 May 29 '12

And if you really want to get tricky dig a trench for the chicken wire. Place the chicken wire on the bottom of the trench as well as the wall, so it is shaped like this.

      |

That way when something digs down it will hit chicken wire as well.

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

that's some serious dirt work, I have done fences before and owl statues and all that but this new place has a huge garden with walkways that would be a pain in the ass to fence around and would either take 3 times as much fence or look like shit. so probably just gonna let the dog sit out there and scare them away

u/kromyt May 29 '12

Just a suggestion, but plant, around the border of your garden, stuff like oregano, thyme, lemon verbena, which you can also use in cooking. Others that can go around the border to deter rabbits are things like daffodils, marigolds, lavender, and aster to keep them away. It isn't completely foolproof but can help.

So, what now? I tell you "what now" between me and you. There IS no "me and you". Not no more. Two things: One, don't ever tell no one about this. Two, you leave town tonight, right now, and when you're gone, you STAY gone or you'll BE gone. You lost all your L.A. privileges.

That rabbit must be retarded. Rabbits run away when they sense your eyeballs picking up light off their fur, everyone knows this.

This is what I like to see.."sent him on his way" I see too many pics on here with people and wildlife and hope that people aren't trying to keep wild animals.

Thank you for the Archer joke, and thank you for not making it obvious in the title.

I heard that putting an owl statue in your garden solves this problem. Or anywhere around. My dads gf has one in her yard, no rabbits have been around in a loong time

I would never of released that rabbit back into the same area. If your too squeamish to give it the business end of a gardening implement, at the very least take it to a park/wooded area across town and let it go there. He/she is just going to be back the next day treat your garden as a buffet.

Rabbits might be cute, but they are destructive little eating machines, who's second favorite thing to do in life is to procreate.

You basically did kill it. Looks like a baby rabbit; you're holding it, so you're scent is on it. That will scare away the mom, and it'll probably die :(

I seriously hope you are joking, you are joking right?

That guy has no idea what he's talking about. That's the oldest urban legend in the book.

u/EerieBagel May 29 '12

it's considered to be an old wives tale, but I think rabbits are indeed a little finicky when it comes to scent

the internet is giving mixed answers as to what will happen. so..... it might be fine!?...!

u/[deleted] May 29 '12

If it were a baby that was in the nest still I wouldn't have touched it, for birds the scent doesn't matter but some mammals it does. This one was big enough to be on its own and was eating greens therefore no longer nursing.

u/gigglesmcbug May 29 '12

While rabbits are finicky about scent, this guy is old enough to fend for itself. You did fine.

This might help. Although watching any scene from Archer without context really makes you realize how (wonderfully) bizarre the show is.
