Our property. We also had at least a dozen rabbits - they were everywhere until mr. Fox showed up. But he was a nice little critter who followed us & our dog on our nightly walks. He'd even walk within ~12' of us. Apparently he's now moved on to where there's more rabbits but I miss him more than I do the rabbits who are now repopulating our property.

Sorry about your rabbit. If I'd seen remains, it'd probably have been bothered me too. But you should've seen this friendly, gorgeous little eastern grey fox.

And they can climb trees! One night my flashlight beam caught ours in a tree after my big Lab gave chase. Glad he escaped her.
