Wild no longer
After about 3 weeks of running around in the wilderness and me almost giving it up to the wild, the black and white rabbit was finally caught!!
After the morning milk one day, Unni and I were standing outside the milk room and then along comes the runaway black and white. The rabbit’s gained some stamina from running around in the wild and scurries into the cow house under the grass machine. Unni and I creep up on it from either side. Black and white runs towards me and I hold a bedsheet (there’s a good reason why I’m holding a bedsheet in a cow house, shan’t go into the details here) in front of it, trapped, it turns and runs straight into Unni’s hands. The little thing’s pretty strong and tried to struggle it’s way back out into the wild. Then I handed Unni the bedsheet and black and white was wrapped snugly inside, with no route for escape.
Needing to bring in the last remaining cage from the animal pen, we put black and white together with the big mother while we went to clean out the other cage. The minute he was let in,

Unni was going “stop it! that’s your MOTHER!”. But I guess there’s no stopping a horny rabbit. Unni was telling me back in last year when the rabbit situation was out of contol and tones of rabbits were running wild, they kept running up to the cats and getting on top of them. So when Gratass was having his morning meal on the veranda, some random rabbit would come up and get on top of him, which left our Divo so pissed!
Anyway, all the rabbits are now up in the barn, warm and toasty.

Ha ha.
Considering that rabbits cannot seem to tell a cat (predator) from a fellow rabbit (er, prey) I doubt that they are discriminating enough to be able to distinguish the matrilineal connection in their eternal quest to hump + reproduce.
