Zorro on the Deck Parts 1 & 2

Last night I took advantage of the milder weather to clean the rabbit trays. They have been neglected for some time. As I was heading toward the house at dusk I saw that Zorro (our wild bunny) was sitting on the deck with his butt against the screen door waiting for a handout. I asked him if he was waiting for his dinner and although he didn't answer (:-)directly he did a little jig and continued to wait. He scampered off to the side when I stepped up onto the deck and I went inside and got him a hand full of rabbit pellets (we've switched to Purina Show by the way). This morning at 6 am Andrew let Daisy out and a few minutes later I went to let her back inside. She was approaching the deck and Zorro was scampering up the poop path (path in the snow for the animals to walk in so they don't disappear) directly behind her. She came inside and he came up onto the deck and looked at me with an I'm starving -let's get on with breakfast expression. I managed to get a video of him up on the deck this time. Note that he looks directly back at me when he hears the door open.

The video ends with Zorro jumping off the deck and into the darkness. I was able to get the footage above because of the porch light. I trimmed the video because the rest of it was too dark so what you don't get to see is Zorro stopping, sitting and waiting patiently for a handout and then greedily gobbling up his food. I got still photos of that.

He must be having a hard time finding food in this weather, although he looks and acts healthy.
Hmmm I wonder ...
Do guardian angles come disguised as bunnies?

This wild rabbit is not so wild after all. You definitely have a gift with the beasties!
