what is killing my rabbits?

Question
i have some rabbits that live in my barn and something is killing them, eating most of them but leaving the skin. What could be doing this. i live in arkansas  thank you

Answer
Dear Mary,

Almost any predator could be responsible.  A raccoon, cat, fox, coyote, weasel...the list is very long.  If these are domestic rabbits, you will want to bring them indoors until you can figure out what the predator is, and then secure the barn so it simply cannot get in.  This may involve putting sturdy hardware cloth over all points of entry, and being sure the barn doors and windows are tightly closed at night.  But if there is predator access, this problem is unlikely to stop.

I hope you can get the bunnies safe soon!
