The '59 Mercury isn’t there anymore and bunny pics will be posted when I get home. Made it into work two hours late.

To tide you over, I’ve got some baby bunny pics of my rabbits in my [“I’m a rabbit herder now”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=558542) thread that I just posted.

Always wonderful when someone takes a step back from the ridiculous theory of human exceptionalism and does their part to make the life of that rabbit something worthwhile.

Kudos to you!

This is getting to be something of a habit. First there was the young squirrel that had been washed out of his nest by a tropical storm, then [a kitten](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=2609360), now a bunny.

I recall doing that for a sparrow that was attempting bravely to fly in my yard, but appeared to have suffered from a broken wing.

I nursed it for as long as I could with my limited skills/knowledge, but it only lasted a few weeks (even after seeking professional advice).

It was wild, and I realized that, but I still tried anyway.

He also looks **tiny** , probably around the size of my buns when I got them, and I was told they were 10 weeks old. So he’s just a little fella. ☹

(Or she. It’s really hard to tell even if you look. I’m just using “he” for convenience, plus my rabbits are male so I’m defaulting to that.)

Edit: **runner pat** : 😛

If a rabbit will wear a collar, find a little plastic human foot and name the bunny “Lucky”

You should name him/her Bede after the Germanic goddess for which Easter is named. (Yeah, I looked that up. 🙂 )

Well if it’s pronounced like bee-dee, then I vote for that. Bede Bunny.

Aw. Seconding this idea.

Also, if you do find a little plastic human foot, let me know. Sounds like my kind of store!

There’s a few other places but all sell skeletal feet.
