One can't just put out a rabbit trap

It had better be a big trap. I hear this fellow has an appetite for Cardiocrinums!

I had a huge Flemmish Giant rabbit as a pet when I was a boy, had him for many years... fond memories.
Of course, I named him Harvey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_(film) :P

Post by: Martinr on January 27, 2010, 07:04:55 PM: I was wondering how long it would be before the rabbit was called Harvey. I've not been disappointed ::)

Exactly. My pet Flemish Giant rabbit was quite visible, unlike Jimmy Stewart's friendly yet invisible pooka friend.
