Stock rabbits

I'm sure that any wild rabbits caught alive, could, and probably would die of stress, depending on how long they are kept once caught. Drop traps are supposed to be good. They are installed in a rabbit run, and rabbits simply drop into a box. I'm not sure where you get them from though.

The dying of stress was also a concern for me, although how do people with pens stock them to begin with ?

Anyone ferreting with nets catches live rabbits and could make them available to you for a rabbit pen.

I kept rabbits in about 1/2 acre for 3 years and they thrived.

Ensure there is plenty of water available and when necessary supplemental food.

Keep them wild, ie leave them alone, except when you need the pen for dog training.

Thank you! Ferret them and put them into a burlap sack or a box ?
