For a smile: Smallest bunny ever?


Forget the Easter bunny -- this little guy has completely stolen the show. He may not bring you candy in a basket, but look how tiny!

According to the photo's credit, the baby's name is Ruediger, and he lives at a zoo in Muenster, Germany, with his sister Kaline. Ruediger, 72 grams, and his 60 gram sister were found in a "dung pile" at the zoo and are now being raised by keepers. Talk about rags to riches.

My husband and I live on some woods, and we have resident groundhogs, deer, and bunnies. The other day, the bunny and groundhog were being chased around by a squirrel.
It was nature's soap opera.

No fear of anything. Our (at the time) 77 lb. border collie was freaked out because this tiny little thing didn't have any fear of her. She'll still sit outside his den and stare at him for hours. He doesn't give a shit.

Years ago in California, one of my cats brought a brush rabbit about that size into the house. She carried it by the scruff of the neck, and it was completely unhurt. She proudly announced her prize, and I snatched the little bunny up to keep kitty from "playing" with it. There was no way of knowing where she found it, so there was no way to release it safely. So, I put it in the cage with my female guinea pig. She was quite happy to see it, and the little bunny grew right up into an adult. I did release it then far from any houses.
