  I like to know if wild squirrel and rabbit can get along especially if the rabbit was a former pet. HRSS website says many rabbits in Singapore get abandoned.I dont own rabbits or letting go of any but just wish i can be of help to these poor things who are victims of human.
  
  Also are there an resident wild rabbit population in Singapore and where can i find them
  I mean since sngapore does not have predators like lions and tigers, if these pet rodents are let go in the wild like parks, what are their chances of suvival, Also i am wondering if they can be adopted by wild squirrel population . Seen this on America's amazing animals once where they showed a rabbit happily coexisting with a group of wild squirrels

  at least if some people (old folks) who feed stray cats and dogs and feed these rabbits in the park, the squirrels will also come and and then your pet rabbit can get along?
  
  At least the rabbit can share food with the squirrels and they get along eventually?

  got see this program on discovery where a rabbit owner whose garden get visited by wild monkeys for food every day eventually became friends with his pet rabbit.
  
  It is because the monkeys recognise the owner and his pet rabbit as feeder.So they get along with the rabbit as well. they even feed the rabbit themself.
  
  squirrel are social animal like monkey. I wonder if they be friend with rabbit.

  there is no resident wild rabbit population in Singapore . Why because pet rabbit don't survive in the wild. First there is predators like wild dogs and cats , which will soon make a good meal out of the rabbit.
  
  Even if there there is no wild predator, it cannot get use to the wild grass and the vegetation is not suitable, thus will die very fast once release.

  will bringing the rabbit to park more often make it more adaptable to the wild?
