This is my post for #freewriters 2251 prompt proclaim your love hosted by @mariannewest

The more I read about raising a wild baby rabbit the more I am convinced that the best thing for him is to not release him back into the wild. They say a rabbit should not be released alone. They say other groups of rabbits will not accept him into their group or warren as they called it.

He is so scared of anything new, I can not think about how he would be in the wild, having never been outside. I decided he needed a litter pan to catch his pee. We went to the pet store and bought a bag of litter for rabbits. My husband took the top off of a tin that cookies came in and we filled it with the litter material and put it in his pen.

He would not come out of his house, he would stick his head out and look strangely at his litterbox. After a couple of hours, I picked him up and set him on top of the litter, he ran back to his house like I ran up on him and said BOO!! I did this a few times and he ran from it each time.

I thought it might be the red pan so I covered the front of it with paper, he still would not come out of his house. so I covered the entire thing with paper and after about 30 minutes he came out of his house and jumped on top of it. I did what @flaxz told me to do which was place some of his poop on top of it so he knew to go there and it worked. I have tried taking the paper off and he runs and hides. I am hoping he will get used to it. I have now started putting slits in the paper so he can see the white litter underneath it. I will keep trying with the paper off and hopefully, he will get used to it.

Since I have no choice but to keep him, I will now proclaim my love for him and start calling him Rudy, I did not want to give him a name but if I am going to keep him, he has to have a name.

I found him on Dec 2nd, this is Jan. 14, and he has grown a lot since then.

Aww how sweet he is. I didn't know that the other rabbits would not allow him to join, but it makes sense to me. Rudy is a great name. Best wishes on litter box training.

@flaxz he is getting quite the personality. And thank you for the tip on placing his poo. Now I need to build him a proper cage since I will be keeping him.

I have now a few folks who kept pet rabbits, including one family with a housebunny. Their dog ate its leavings. Handy, eh? You may find it necessary to see this furball as a future dinner though. Keep that in mind.

Have you ever read Watership Down by Richard Adams? It's an adventure novel featuring rabbits. You can probably find a copy through your local library.

He will not be running loose in the house, my sister had one for a pet and it ate her electric cords. I have one dog who used to have to hunt for her food and I am sure she would not think twice about eating him, which we will never do.

Reading is one thing I never had the time for, I love to read but with a husband and 5 kids, I always end up reading the same page 50 times because I keep being interrupted.
