Nice rabbit. I live in Queensland in Australia so rabbits are banned here - there is about a $60,000 Aust. fine for bringing them into the state as they have been a major pest in the past. Other states are allowed to have rabbits for pets - and hares are tolerated in Queensland.
Having seen the damage caused by rabbits (they're a declared noxious pest here in Australia) I am not keen on rabbits - of any sort, even the pet breeds. Nice photo though, and this one's not likely to cause Oz any problems, it's too far to swim.
And probably eating everything else in sight too. We had a feral rabbit that managed to get in our garden a while ago and ate his way through a lot of our plants before we made the garden rabbit proof.
It's interesting to see the opposite ends of the spectrum here- some hate them and others are "oh he's so cute"! It reminds me of the reactions to deer here. Nothing's cute when it destroys your garden! Good shot of this little nibbler!
@jeneurell that is amazing, quite a lot of money for a bunny ;-) @onewing This is my neighbours bunny, they had to go to a lot of trouble to get their garden bunny proof. They have two who are constantly digging up the garden ;-) @summerfield I would have loved that Vikki, he was just too far away to get a shot through the fence, I could only take it from the top :-) @stevejacob Yes, the neighbours children have two ;-) @robz Pets Rob, see above :-) @olivetreeann I am rather amazed by the comments, thought everyone loves bunnies ;-)
