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

I was wondering how long it would be before the rabbit was called Harvey. I've not been disappointed ::)

God, you don't want THAT in the garden, even if it is called Harvey. It wouldn't come under the fence, it would just walk through it!

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

So what do they feed those giant rabbits on - super-sized carrots, pronounced hhhharrots?  ::)
