Yes!!! Raccoons eat just about anything and they will kill and eat small mammals! Move the bunny! SAVE THE BUNNY! I'm extremely serious!!!

Raccoons are omnivorous and will eat whatever they can get. In most places, plants make up most of a raccoon's diet. Raccoons will also eat other vertebrates but generally stick to invertebrates like insects and crayfish. In urban areas, raccoons have adapted to digging through trash to find food.

I have a rampant urban bunny problem where I live. I would love to have a pet raccoon. No offense to you bunny lovers but these critters eat all the wiring and cause damage.

Raccoons love bunnies :)

G'day Maragirl331, Thank you for your question. Raccoons are omnivores like us meaning that they eat both meat and vegetables. They also have thumbs which means that they can open things. I would check the security of the hutch and shoo off the racoon pronto. However, they generally eat smaller animals than rabbits but you might want to make sure your protect your bunny. I have attached sources for your reference.

YES they eat bunnys!!! i had a pretty big bunny i left outside one day in a cage and she got KILLED AND EATEN BY RACCOONS!!!

Yes, raccoons are mean little sob's. Not at ALL like the cartoons.

Yes, racoons will eat your bunnies. Bunnies are at the bottom of the food chain and have to worry about almost every predator in it's environment. You might want to watch out for dogs, owls, foxes, even household cats will eat the babies.

We have a family of raccoons outside who are as sweet as can be. We have a stray cat outside and our neighbor lets her cat outside. I have seen the cats and raccoons many times eating out of the same bowl.We also have deer, rabbits, squirrels and groundhogs too wondering our yard. We feed the raccoons fish, eggs, and bread and they don't seem to have any interest in any of the other wild life creatures.

Bunnies are rodents. Racoon eat rodents. Racoons ate my dog, which wasn't a rodent, but she and her puppies ended up as racoon poop anyway. I have no love for racoons. I don't hate 'em, but do not think they are cute. They are predators and bunnies are easy prey.

I m on this site because my bunny was killed by a raccoon LAST NIGHT!! Our bunny was very sneaky at escaping from his pen. We would catch him at night and put him in his hutch (which is inside his 20'x 20' pen), but last night, he had escaped into our yard, burrowed under a fence, and escaped out of even the yard. So this morning, i went out early to check on him. I found a headless bunny body in our backyard. I gather he was trying to get back into his pen when the raccoon killed him. I expected to see that some part of the rabbit was eaten, but it wasnt. Just a MISSING head. I didn t use to worry when i saw the occasional raccoon in our backyard. they would sometimes play with the clothesline and knock clothes to the ground. they d peer into our windows, drink at the cat water bowl, and lie on their butts to wash their bellies. My toddler and i would watch from the dining room windows and comment on how "cute" they were. We live in the middle of a big city (Redondo Beach, in LA county), but see possums, skunks, squirrels, etc. often. The possums, in particular, identified themselves as disinterested in our pets. They ignored the cats and the cats ignored them. In fact, a couple times, i couldn t find our bunny to put him back in the hutch. I would keep looking outside thru the windows to see whether he d shown up yet (he often did), and lo and behond, i twice caught him FOLLOWING/CHASING possums around the yard as if HE were the big Kahuna! I couldn t believe it. It was a rather half-hearted chase, more like a Sniff & Saunter than anything else. So i have concluded the raccoon killed our Benji Bunny because the raccoons only showed up, alone or in pairs, twice a month at most. And that evening, i had seen one hanging out in our backyard. I believe there it could not have been anything else. So i am now getting some cages from a Humane Trapping Co., and will set about trapping them and finding out where it is legal to place them (wildlife area). They are lucky i still feel sympathetic to the plight of an Urban Raccoon stuck in a weird environment. I am still in shock at the killing of our bunny. Who knows what other pets they may get a hold of in our community. I will not take that risk, no matter how amazingly attractive and cuddly they LOOK!!! P.S. I just spoke with a girlfriend in thousand oaks, CA, who says her husband chased off a raccoon who had managed to eat one of their chickens and KILL three others for sport, it seemed, before being caught! He said he has heard they sometimes kill for sport, and now he is a believer. Until "the lion lies down with the lamb," and Animals Killing Other Animals (and not JUST for food--?!)is the natural order of the planet, we are stuck with the strange, conflicted job of protecting "our" favorite animals from other, now less-favorite animals. We loved BENJI BUNNY, a white lop-eared rabbit that loved to play with my two-year old and endured a lot of love from her with significant patience (he even hopped over to her as soon as we put her in the pen!). I am sorry we did not protect you from the raccoon who dropped by. We SHOULD have done better, and I am so sorry!! Sofia

Yes, his head was missing. We confirmed that raccoons kill mainly by breaking the neck, and that certainly matches the result. But we, like you, were very surprised that he left with the head. We could only bury what was left.

ya........... there omnivores, & jerks!

yes they do, my pet bunny had gone missing and the next day we saw the raccoon in our yard by his huch. please be careful nothing is worse then seeing you pets blood.
