Last night while out walking the property with the goats I was about 100 ft from the rabbit barn when I spotted a weasel under the semi trailer we have with junk and rough cut lumber piled under it from the previous owner... This put me into a panic as I have baby bunnies in the barn and a lot of show rabbits. I get attached to my rabbits and I have had a lot of bad luck with everything BUT predators! How can I catch the thing to make sure that my rabbits are safe!
I put the 4 litters into my show carriers that have 1x1 wire for the sides and tops in hopes that it keeps them safe but I just have this sinking feeling that I am going to be suffering a big loss shortly as weasels are a ticking time bomb with rabbits. I also have had the dogs out patrolling and getting their scent all around the barn a lot more, walked them over to the trailer where it was seen and so on. But when I saw it, it actually wasn't afraid of me or the goats. It didn't run but kept popping up behind or under things closer to us.
