Our new little bunny friend

Elton Bunny - Our little bunny friend, who is wild, but likes to sit by us when we are outside. He doesn't seem to mind his name, Elton. Elton loves to eat clovers and comes around every day.

He is so small and cute and friendly. When the kids are on the swingset he cmes and sits by them. When I am trimming grass he comes and sits by me, startling me sometimes because I am not expecting it. We named him Elton. Not sure where the name cae from we just kind of started calling him it. He doesn't seem to mind. He gets crazy sometimes and starts sprinting around the yard. We can't stop laughing when he does.

That's adorable! What a cutie you have there. Is he wild? Does he live outside? I'll bet he's a riot. He looks like lots of fun. I'm totally fascinated by your bunny rabbit. I'm sure your kids are having lots of fun with their new friend!

We went away for vacation for a week and he looks bigger. He is wild and lives outside. I think in the bursh between the woods and our house. There are other bunnies but Elton is so tame he doesn't mind coming up closr while the others rub away. I know he can hear because when the kids yell or squeal he looks. The kids do love him. Every time they see him they get so excited (and i ma excited I don't have to buy food or clean a cage).

He's so cute. Does he live with you, or just come round to visit when he feels like it? I only ask because he looks a little bit like a baby hare, as his ears are a bit larger than you'd expect of a rabbit. That said, my old rabbit used to have huge ears, and she was definitely not a hare! I find it so funny when rabbits decide to speed about, ours had a habit of flinging his back legs in the air, which is apparently normal for rabbits, only he had a very poor sense of balance, and usually ended up doing a sort of half-twist in the air, and flipping himself over. Hours of fun.

No definietly a bunny because I saw the mother. There is another one that comes around but not as often. That one is bigger and runs sooner than Elton does. He is a wild bunny, just likes to come around :) We see him every single day. Is there anything we could set out for him to eat? I tried carrots and he just stepped on them to eat a dandilion.
