Bunhalla woes

trystinnI'm so bloody furious, I can barely speak.
Some asshole decided to come visit the bunnies while I was at work and left Bunhalla's gate wide open. So all five residential rabbits got loose. Brilliant, fucking brilliant. As I drove up into the driveway, Martha was staring at me from the front porch.
We've caught Foxglove (who patiently let me walk up to her and grab her), Martha (who took five people to grab, we had to use a hose to chase her out from under the Fury in the driveway) and Nod (who thankfully due to his blindness in one eye, is easy to sneak up on). Blinken & Winken are tucked down under the workshop. We've set feeder traps in each shed and at Bunhalla's gate. Now, its just a matter of time before they do something dumb and I nab them. Thankfully rabbit excel at doing dumb things, which is why Nature makes so many of them.
Fuck. Now its a race between me and the raptors. I don't think they'll try to get out through the back fence as there's a dog day care back there. If they do, they will die. So their options are stay in the backyard, head over to Patrick's (they will recognize the buns easily) or Loni's (possibly the workmen will see them).
Yes, I've super secured Bunhalla's gate and will be padlocking the north and south picket gates from now on.
Update: I just caught one of the twins, I think its Blinken (I know them by behavior and size, Winken is fatter). He wandered over to Bunhalla to munch on the alder leaves and I managed to trap him. Winken is still hanging out in the Orchard, gorging himself.
