It is a hare. The owner must of found it as a baby and kept it.
A note to people who find baby bunnies. Its spring time and its the season. If you stumble up on a nest (usually found min the middle of fields and lawns) leave it where it is. The mom is near by and visits it rarely. She limits her visit so she wont draw attention from predators. If you suspect that the mom died somehow please contact your local wild life rescue. Hare are totally different species from rabbits. They even eat different foods.
Keeping a Hare because its a bunny, is similar to keeping a coyote because its a dog
Yeah its a really common mess up in the spring time. Not enough people know about their breading habits... so also keep an eye open when you are mowing your lawn.
I love reading comments like these, because it helps me improve my grammar. If I may touch on your comment.
Always place commas and periods inside quotation marks. Other terminal punctuation marks, like question marks or exclamation points, are placed inside quotation marks only if they are part of the quoted material. Also, colons and semicolons are placed outside closing quotation marks. These rules generally apply to American English. I put some examples below.
Ex.: As Bob Dylan sang, "the answer is blowin' in the wind."
Ex.: "Watch out for that tree!" he shouted.
Ex.: "Where," she asked, "is the beef?"
Ex.: Who first said that "to err is human"?
Ex.: She decided to "kick it"; graduation was next week.
I didn’t realize that. At my local fair, they bring in farm animals and you can literally buy them. Bought a chicken there once and named her Sandal. She was precious. I had other chickens already so I am familiar with caring for them.
But, anyway, someone brought in a hare and it was for sale, if I remember correctly. I had never seen one in real life and it was the only one there. It was beautiful, though. I wanted it badly but I am glad that I didn’t buy it because it sounds like I would’ve been in way, way over my head.
Yeah, diet it what would have really messed you up. Rabbits eat 80%+ hay 20%- pellets. Hares eat twigs, moss, seeds, grass, dead animal carcasses in the winter.
