And my wife's very sad and upset. New rabbits better come visit soon or I'll have to go look for them. I guess this one was happy here to pick her resting place.

From your title, I thought someone got pregnant!
We had rabbits when I was young. All for food. Rabbit soup is delicious.
I have rabbits now for the same. Well, two are pets... a silver martin and a black otter rex, both came from a black otter rex buck, but the silver martin came from a Giant Chinchilla/White New Zealand cross doe and the black otter came from a [standard] Chincilla/New Zealand doe.
Not counting Luci[fer] (rex) and Crowley (silver martin), we have the two breeding bucks Oz (black otter rex, though smaller, he is stout) and Laszlo (Giant Chin/NZ) and three does Willow (Chin/NZ), Nadja (Giant Chin/NZ) and for the first time this year Harmony (tortoise shell that came from Oz and Nadja, and she is well-built and big, hopefully will throw stocky kits). Not really sure what the actual prominence of Oz is (like what his parents were).
Wild rabbit?
It’s unusual for them to die any other way but at the pleasure of something further up the food chain.

I understand they rarely live more than a year. Usual cause of death is being some other beings dinner.
We have a lot of wild rabbits here in rural SE Pennsylvania. But we also have fox and coyotes. Their populations are inversely proportional to each other. If it’s a good year for rabbits, next year will see a lot more fox kits.
We had flemmish giants. Had to feed 4 kids so we needed the meat. Grandad used to make gloves from the skins. He taught me but I haven't the area to practice it.
I'm confused . That looks like a wild rabbit . Did you feed it & it just kind of hung around ?
Yeah, curious myself, looks like an eastern cottontail to me.
Yupe. My wife occasionally gave it carrots and apples. It enjoyed them. Used to come almost everyday to hide on our front garden. My wife was happy with it. Then it came here to die. I'm telling you, I should have gotten rid of it instead of telling her it died.
So nice to see my country (and neighbour OZ) mentioned in a post and it not have anything to do with tobacco laws. Chur bro
Was about to suggest the same thing, but maybe he'd like to know what it died of first!
Think before you dump your dottle people!
Also, as you mentioned bullet08, the whole not telling the missus and discretely disposing of evidence is the way to go. You'll think of it for next time.

In Spain it is consumed quite a lot, especially for the typical Valencian paella, along with chicken meat, the rabbit gives it a very tasty flavor. But I would not eat a wild rabbit, without certificate and sanitary registration.
