[Careful to keep his distance from the open, alluring crate, Benjiro crosses to the far side of the pen. He turns his attention towards the corner opposite the open crate and studies the rabbits collected there. He compares them carefully for their features, trying to identify some that would match well in the way Russell picked out the ginger colored ones. Nearly immediately, he picks out some with longer fur. Whether he can get to them is the question.
He approaches with a slower pace and steps that fall nearly silent in a stride. Rather than rushing, he watches their body language and stops whenever one starts preparing to run. Once nearly in reach, he squats down low to pause. A couple rabbits start to move away, and he reaches towards one with the longer fur. It puts its head down to the ground and freezes, and he gingerly scoops it up under its back feet with fingers hooking around and under the chest between the forelegs. Lifted up, he brings it in paws to his chest. It is scared, so he moves smoothly to take it to a crate. Chuck opens it and in the first rabbit goes.
That one may be used to handling. It was too easy.]
If the ginger ones are hard to get, the ones with long fur might come easier. I don’t think they’re wild.
