Question
Hi,

I have two questions. Can a in house rabbit or a rabbit from the petshop survive if let outdoors to run free? Second question what is the best food to feed wild outdoor rabbits?

Thanks.

Ali

Answer
Ali, depends - on where you live ( are there predatory birds, cats, dogs, wildlife ? )  Is the yard fenced so that any predators can not get in ?  What is the climate like ?  Just off hand I would say no.

Best food for a wild bunny - you don't have to give it any thing it would find for itself.
