when i took the dogs out this morning to potty, there was a dead rabbit near my back porch. its face looks like it has been munched on. i know none of my dogs did it because they were in the house all night. i just cant figure out what did. i know we have oppossum, racoons, coyotes,deer and wolves in the woods behind our house but we have a chain link fence all around our yard. quinn thinks it was a coyote, but i dont.i think a coyote would have ate it and not just nibbled on its face. what other animal could have climbed the fence to get to it? its bugging me and now i dont even want to goout back at night !
It is possible that it got attacked outside of your yard and came in there to escape whatever had gotten it, the injuries were probably too much for it to live.
it could have. but it really wasnt ate up or bloody. just around its mouth a little and its eyes were missing. of course my son thats is staying here , has been at his friends for the last couple of days: so i had to go deal with it.
If the eyes were missing and it was eaten up around the mouth it might have been ants. They will eat the eyes and stuff. When I found my old cat dead in the back yard he hadn't been there for 12 hours and his eyes were already missing and he was covered in ants. Gross I know but could have been.
we do have alot of those little ants. theres a few ant hills on the other side of our fence where the woods are. my neighbor got rid of one, but he doesnt want to burn the other cause its in real tall brush and he doesnt want to start a fire back there. i dont want one either , but the ants are heavy and i think if we get rid of the other hill, it will eliminate most of them. poor bunny though, he hadnt been dead that long cause he wasnt stiff yet.
