Wow, that's one fun game! Before 30g with CRRR for mh I feel that Gold should be winning, but it's a very tough game.
As silver I wouldn't think twice before jumping into a3 with a rabbit on move 30s (and I would have prevented it as Gold on 30g). As Gold I would be dying to advance the Rh1 to at least h4 (maybe h5) on basically every move; I'm not sure of the timing (31g might be the right move to play Rh1nnn).
On 33s moving the horse west should be better than east, as there are already 3 silver pieces in the east.
I think that Gold loses a lot of time with his Elephant steps on moves 31-32-33-34g. Many of those steps might have been used very profitably to move pieces (including rabbits) forward (and maybe the dog towards b3).
34s is a wild sacrifice, silver needs an almost forced goal to compensate for the loss of the before last rabbit. Maybe 36g Rc2ww De3ww was better for Gold, allowing the Elephant to particpate both to goal attack and goal defense.
38g Ra4n Rb4w Ra5n Ra6n looks terribly strong to me.
39g is a mistake, flipping the rabbit into the trap actually turns in into a bigger goal threat than leaving it on a3. I think this is a very common phenomenon, rabbits frames in the endgame are almost always very dangerous, as the rabbit is more centralized, and silver breaking the frame very often forces a goal.
