Catching a rabbit

There is a white domesticated rabbit that has been on the side of the road, next to a wooded area, two days in a row, from a nursing home where I visit daily. I pull my car over and the headlights do not bother him, but I can only get within 10 feet of him and he slowly hops a few feet, and stops.

My question is, is it possible to catch a rabbit in a have a heart trap, or will it not work since the rabbit will have to hop in the trap instead of walk like other animals. I know nothing about rabbits, and don't want to waste my time sitting there if he won't be able to set the trap off. I will have to stay there and wait because it will be too close to the road and I think the trap will get stolen if I don't

I'm not sure if that trap will work or not, but how nice of you to be looking out for this rabbit! Perhaps the local animal control can be of assistance too. Good luck!
