Question
Hey Dan,
My female lop Dusty has escaped into our 8 acre paddock! it is surrounded by a brick wall 1.2 metre high. is there a chance she could jump this?
also there are many wild rabbits. could they breed with Dusty or attack her?
Thanks Jack

Answer
Hello Jack !
well Iam sorry you rabbit has escaped. This must be hard.
I don not think she will be able to jump that high.
I do think she will find a place to squeeze out  not because she is unhappy its just their nature to wander and go in tight places.

I would not worry about a wild rabbit atacking her but they may find company and they could breed.( not too likely but possible)
I would try and set up a cage and food and water and try and catch her I am sure you have tried!.
Good luck....
Dan
