One of the bunnies in Paul's hands.

A tiny baby bunny before it's eyes open.

Abagail's reaction to the bunny.

We got a surprise this past week at our house. Tammy cleaned out our female rabbit’s cage and as usual threw out the waste in the trash. While waiting for one of the garbage pickup days, a neighborhood raccoon got into the garbage and so it had to be picked up again. She noticed that one of the corners of the bag was moving and discovered 3 baby bunnies. They had managed to survive for at least 2 days in the trash. They’re now reunited with momma bunny and have pretty much doubled in size in the past 3 or 4 days.

I’m sure this sounds like horrible animal care, but in our defense, the rabbits are kept in separate cages, so we were not expecting bunny babies!  Tammy so far has decided to name them Lucky, Miracle, and Dumpster.  One has been claimed, but two are still available if anyone wants one.  They should be ready to leave mama bunny in about 4 weeks.

Here are a couple bunny pictures.  Then one of our cat’s reactions to one of the little fur balls as I was taking the pictures.
