    Have you tried leaving bunny food around where it might find it, 
    assuming Houdini is hiding in a corner somewhere?
    

    I left carrots outside every room and opened all the doors 
    (except where I put the cats).  I was relieved to find that all
    the carrots upstairs had been nibbled on.  I located the cutie and
    put the cage in front of the doorway.  He's back safe and sound!
    :')  :')  :')  
    
    I put chicken wire on the cage door, and cardboard where I think
    he made his escape.  I also blocked the door with a towel.  This
    morning I found him out of the cage, with the towel pushed away
    from the door!  Amazing!  I caught him just in time.
    
    More fixes to the cage, and the bottom of the door has been secured
    with cardboard.  Still, who knows?
    
    What a little Dickens!  
    

If you are at all handy with a hammer and saw you can make a cage.

Just make a frame of wood, put plywood on the bottom, chicken wire (with
1/2 inch holes on the sides, and put a plywood lid on top.  You can
secure the lid with hinges and a latch hook.

We had a rabbit once and his cage was 3 feet long, 18 inches wide, and
1 foot tall.  If you don't plan to let him out once and a while, you
might want to make it larger, otherwise this should be sufficient.

    Are you planing to make this a pet? Actually, he is a wild
    animal and probably should be returned to the wild. Drumlin Farm
    generally accepts baby wild animals, rehabilitates them and
    returnes them to their natural habitat. Domestic rabbits
    will make a better pet if you are interested in rabbits. 

    RE:  .3  CUTE ;')!
    

    When we lived in Ohio the neighborhood kids bought us a very
    small baby wild bunny. So cute. Off to the vets it went and Mopsie
    had a shot of vitamins, and the vet told us to feed her evaporated
    milk and karo syrup with an eye dropper every TWO hours. Our cats (3)
    and two saints watched with facination as we fed this little creature.
    Not too long afterward someone else gave us another baby bunny who
    was caught by their cat. Back to the vets, and Peter was given a clean
    bill of health also.
    
    We had these two bunnies for 6 years, and loved every minute of it.
    We also had 2 domestic rabbits and all four would be let out on
    the lawn to run and jump and eat, and no one ever ran away.
    
    I think the two wild bunnies died of old age within 6 months of
    each other.
    
    They sure can steal your heart.

    I got the impression that .0 was concerned with her cats mistaking
    the rabbit for an open box of Friskies...
    
    I say don't worry. TOO much. Unless your cats are veteran hunters
    they'll probably be more inclined to 'play' with the rabbit. The
    rabbit undoubtedly won't be amused.
    
    The renegade rodent I wrote of in an earlier note came back upstairs
    this week. Aja spent all night chasing it and running around the house
    with it with no indication the she had any clue this thing could be
    a snack. (Actually, it was both of us chasing it around the house. She
    to play and I to try and save it's little mouse tuckus from being
    played with to death...)

    We let Houdini go free.  Unfortunately the more positive notes
    arrived too late for the "weighing" of advice.  We'll get a domestic
    bunny real soon!
    
    I miss him so...But he seemed SO happy in the grass!
