I'm in grief over some wild rabbits I released into my daughters yard.

Our dog has been bringing up baby rabbits for 2 months now. We finally had a round of them that lived. I had a favorite one that was very tame and I called her Amelia. I let all of them go. My daughter had taken 3 of the 9 with her and also released those 3 that day. A few days later she saw one dead under the brush pile where we let them go. She saw a couple outside of the pile eating one day, but then never saw any since. They were only like 3 weeks old. Now i regret not at least taking Amelia and just keeping her a pet. I thought I was doing the right thing letting them all go, but they were safe in their tub in the house with us. I'm afraid a predator got to them. My son in law took a flashlight last night to look under the brush pile and didn't see anything 😓

You did the right thing regardless of what happend after you let them free.
Please dont be hard on yourself.
More than likely they would have scattered further out to protect themselves

What you did was the right thing by releasing them. We grow attached to them. And i know because this happend to me but with squirrels.
You cannot pit yourself against the eco system. Had you not taken them in they wouldbt have even got to 3 weeks hun.
So please for any minute think its your fault x they are wild rabbits x

Rabbits are a major pest in Australia it was a big mistake letting them go here

I live in Missouri and there are lots of areas they can spread out to. I didn't know they were pests in other countries
