Is he quite tame and friendly? That's usually a good way of telling if it's a beloved pet or another poor bugger bought because a child wants a bunny.
How do his claws and teeth look? Won't they be a tell tale sign if it's been looked after recently or on the run for a while. It looks healthy and fed from the photo you've posted. Doesn't look like its been in a fight or neglected & malnourished.
It also looks like you're spoiling it. It might not even want to go home!
I found a pet rabbit in my garden a while back, took it into the house. We live in suburbia, so ran off a few slips with 'rabbit found' on, and dropped them through a load of the neighbours letterboxes.
The rabbit was claimed in a few hours by one of the neighbours grandads, who was housesitting while the family was away. He hadn't noticed the rabbit was missing until he saw the note on the mat!
Never got a word of thanks from the family, I suspect grandad 'forgot' to tell the family about Fluffy's adventure!!

I don't think that it has been on the run for long, partly because it is such a well groomed creature and partly because our local fox is extremely efficient.
Notices went up in the two local villages and on a couple of telegraph poles first thing this morning, but nobody has been in touch yet.
I hope he hasn't been abandoned.
It is now called Boris, though I have no idea whether it is a boy.

Well done OP. Hopefully someone has claimed him by now.
Nope.There are five posters up on local notice boards and telegraph poles.
I've also done the door to door thing round the neighbourhood.
But not a peep from anyone.
Boris doesn't look like the sort of chap who would cover great distances, which leads me to suspect that he has been deliberately abandoned.
I also have a 12 year old daughter who is becoming increasingly attached to the beast...

or keep it inside as a house bunny - a bit of rabbit proofing and you will be fine (BTW imagine the most space that a bunny needs and then double it - they need a lot more space than you think
Bunnies should be able to stand on their back paws and stretch and not hit their heads. You'd be surprised how high they can reach....House rabbits are ace- much better than cats and dogs.

No one really understands how fun a house rabbit is until you have one binkying round your feet first thing in the morning (and most bunny distruction can be avoided - not all as they will still want to taste everything but most can be avoided)
