3 days before easter, I was out working on a horsefarm, when all of a sudden I heard this screeching noise. Iturned around, and here my boss's dog was carrying a little bunny, eyesnot even open. He dropped it at my feet.First thing I did was wrap it up in a coat. It sounds cruel,but I kept him in my dryer after trying to call the nature center andthey were never open. Every hour I would take him out, turnon the dryer just enough so it was warm in there, and I would put himback in. I basically force fed him with a bottle and formulaat first. But the day before easter, he opened his littleeyes. He's doing great now, he loves sleeping in the arm partof my sweatshirt. He hops around, and usually hops into myhand if I put it in front of him. He's eating Haysentialsrabbit food, and drinking water. But I have aquestion. Last night I was laying on my bed, and he was up onmy shoulder. I gave him a little baby carrot *he has had thembefore*but he didn't want it. He kept running backand forth from the carrot to my mouth, sniffing both and basicallyflipping out. Finally I held one end of the carrot with myteeth, and he started chowing down on the other end of it.Any ideas why he wanted me to hold the carrot with my mouth?lol needless to say, I can't give him up.I know most wild rabbits don't survive because of stress. Butthis little guy is doing great. Very strong andactive. Also VERY hungry. lol Anyway, Ijust thought I would share my story, and ask that question.Thanks.
