I once had a bunny visit often and eat under my bird feeder. I was afraid bunny would enjoy my roses and plants but he seemed to be happy with seed. My kids and I named him and loved seeing him. LOL! I miss Bunny. ;) I have a fence now. Whew. I had a deer eat a holly to almost nothing. :)
We have some odd mixed breed rabbits here.
Someones pet domestic rabbit got loose, and the cottontail population here now sports floppy ears and arched markings on their sides.
Though they still look like cottontails.
Truly odd.
