The number of rabbits in shelters across the country goes up every summer because Easter bunnies grow up and the novelty wears off.

Q. I found a black bunny wandering about my backyard. He seems very tame and will come up to me to lick my hand. He is living in a makeshift shelter that I made for him. It seems that nobody in my neighborhood is looking for him, and he is truly abandoned. Should I make him a permanent hutch in the backyard or keep him in a cage inside?
