A baby rabbit!!!! What a cutie!

So as my husband was sitting on the back porch having is morning ice tea and reading the paper, he notice some movement to the left and thought a mouse was running down our breezeway.  When he got up to investigate what it was it ended up being a baby rabbit that ran behind our wicker couch and caught the attention of our peahens.  Apparently the yard man frightened it out of its garden hiding spot.  

We figured it would run away if we got close but surprisingly it let me just walk up and pick it up.  I read that they often are frozen from fear so I am guessing that's what happened.   We have a fish tank in the house that used to hold a snake but is now empty (except for all the pine shavings left over from the snake) so we put him there for now until the yard men leave and we can let him go.  It's in a lot of danger from the host of predators we have around here including our chickens and peacocks who would have loved to play with it, but not in a good way.
