Snowshoe Hare

Just got one, common quality, second to a Rat in Strahnbrad. Quite hard to find this pet... jeez! Good luck.

Thank you, Korendir, for your awesome explanation! Confirmed!

Unfortunately I am now responsible for killing hundreds and hundreds of rats and non-BP snowshoe hares trying to get my rare.

I finally decided to ONLY kill the BP versions of the rats around Strahnbad and SH's. I DID NOT kill the non-BP versions. This seemed to help a lot because the non-BP's acted like place holders and the BP versions spawned more frequently. Finally, after wanting so bad to give up, the Rare came! NERDRAGE!!!

Just got mine at Dalaran Crater as an addon with a rabbid. Was checking all battlepets I could find.

This was the only and luckily rare Snowshoe Hare I found.

Got mine at Hilsbrad, lvl 7 common came to battle as a secondary to a poor Huge Toad. Really high up the river that crosses the map next to Tarren Mill. I was almost at the border to Western Plaguelands. I kept circling the area in the Locations section before this, but with very little luck. Someone must have been there right before me or something. I was only able to find one and unlucky enough that my pet decided to kill it...

Secondary pet possibility in Hillsbrad. Has very few Primary spawn points.

But one of them is right near where the Greech spawns during Xmas. Thats where I got mine, lol, while waiting for group to pull.

I got mine as a secoundary too Lofty Libram around dalaran crater

Spot on about the Libram camp, I got mine finally while camping there.

Got a Rare as a second to a Lofty Libram

Found my rare at 3:50 AM on Hellscream NE of Dalaran Crater.  It was a secondary to a rat.  I was checking the rats for Lofty - not sure if Lofty is a secondary ever, but you can't be too safe. 

I concur with Coton, I've seen this as an addon in battle with everything from spiders in the mine to toads by the river near Tarren Mill; in fact, that's where I finally got my rare. :)

Found my rare as an add to the rats in Durnholde Keep!  Although, i was finding showshoe hares attached as add to everything in the zone.

i just got a rare as a secondary to a rat in the town in the snowy area (S something).1400 server time. Dalaran server.

Finally found a poor quality after 2 hours.

Aim for the snowy areas only - this may seem obvious, but you may also need to kill a lot of rats!

Found mine as a secondary to an infected fawn just north of dalaran crater (on the coast).

I've had issues with finding this pet in the "supposed" area they spawn... I actually just grabbed one around the Dalaran Crater as a secondary spawn from a rat. It was of poor quality. The ones around Ruins of Alterac though are beasts and not critter's on my server... I think they are bugged.

While I'm still farming for my rare snowshoe, I found that if you kill the yellow lvl 5 placeholder snowshoes between Strahnbrad and the ruins it helps to spawn up the battle pets faster. I did try killing the rats in Strahnbrad but to me it didn't honestly seem to make a difference. The real difference was killing the placeholders. Run the half circle path between the Crushridge Ogre's, that is where I found them. :) Hope this helps.

Just got mine as a second to a red-tailed chipmunk on the path directly west of the pond at Tarren Mill. It -was- raining. I also noticed that while it was raining a lot more of the non-BP snowshoes were running around in the ruins. No idea if there's a connection.

I farmed these little guys for about 4 hours to get my rare. Very annoying since most of the time was spent fighting the rats in Stahnbrad to get the hares to actually spawn. As long as you keep the BP rats dead the Snowshoe Hares spawn every few minutes or so. However you must stay moving, because as mentioned, they will definitely despawn in a matter of moments. 

Korendirs advice worked like a charm for me. The hare does not seem to spawn immediately after killing/battling the rats, but I always found some sooner or later, sometimes respawning in the very same spot I had fought another in the same cycle.

Apparently the rats respawn only once all possible hares have been dealt with, so when their corpses can be seen, a hare could possibly be spawning somewhere. But: Hares do eventually despawn, so don't take to much time.

Still need a rare one though.

Chionia is actually spot on. I gave what they said a try and it worked perfectly. As I killed non BP's, others spawned and it could be a BP or non BP.
