Popular Post Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 12, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Following on from an earlier thread about tame hares, a mate of mine had a leveret, that was found on a local horse racing course by one of the grass cutters, handed to him. That was back in June 2011 the hare is coming up for three now and still lives in the house with the dogs. Early days. Getting bigger. Sit. TC 73 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Interesting that. My mate had one from tennis ball to full grown his was slightly more flighty that one by the looks of it. Bit aggressive kicking boxing wise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) Yes, he still has the run of the house and bosses everyone. He does like to jump up on his wife's lap and stretch out and chill TC Edited May 12, 2014 by tiercel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,172 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Fantastic to see that: never fails to bring a huge smile to my face when I see something as intrinsically wild as a hare in a domestic situation. Love the one of the hare and terrier sitting side by side By all accounts they are not the easiest of animals to maintain as adults: love to see some more photos. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 the one i raised became a liability as it matured, no wild animal will become completely tame, there just not made that way, instincts are extremely strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 That photo of them sitting together is a cracker tiercel, does he intend to release it back into its habitat? Should imagine that if its been in a domestic situation for almost 3 years it might find it a struggle (and it'll miss the TV ) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) The last two photos he sent me. As a bye, both terriers were bloody good ratters in their day. TC Edited May 12, 2014 by tiercel 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
