Yeah, not much thought was given to things like that in the 70’s. Probably explains a bit though...

Well things have taken a turn.

We are now official Hare carers for any Leverets found in & around the Gold Coast area.

Attached some images of our twins rescued from a rural yard after a man tried to kill them with a brush cutter.
These little fellows will be re-homed when they are part weened or in about 1 month. That goes for any other Leverets we care for after they are rescued.

So if you find a Hare or Leveret (baby Hare) please call me 0418457066

Cheers

Dave

This thread has been a learning curve for me (good thing). I, probably like a few other thought they (rabbits & hares) were all the same which prompts a few questions. Firstly, are Hares a native species to Aus?.

No, introduced from Europe.

Nope. Introduced around the same time as rabbits, but they don't achieve the same breeding rates, so they're not considered as pests. (At least by most people, rabbit boards and their ilk may disagree, though)

Hi,
Farm dogs can tell the difference at fifty meters.
Just not worth chasing a hare.

A good dog (a stayer) will bring them right back to you, they run in a big circle, used to be a lot around locally but havnt seen one for a long time.
