Woops..thought you were a chocolate bunny. Sorry ’bout that. *wipes mouf*

2 Kimski 12.24.08 at 11:06 pm

ooooh almost something *scared of Teho*

Bunneh come over ear. (that’s the best I could come up with).

3 CoffeeCup 12.24.08 at 11:09 pm

That’s it…ultimate proof that a bunny can be nommed without the perpetrator being disapproved to death.

I wonder if Harry Potter went up against Bunnemort, would he’d still be as heroic..

An appropriate cartoon for this situation; you’ve probably seen this before:

he looks so sad…

“For just 10 cents a day, you too can help bunnies just like this in the fight against ear nomming.”

6 Bunny owner 12.24.08 at 11:42 pm

I’d snorgle it.

7 lucy's mommeh 12.24.08 at 11:47 pm

*almost* looks like a guinea pig. Kinda cute, aktshooly

8 Deborah Godin 12.24.08 at 11:54 pm

Oh, the look in that little eye – he knows that you noticed…(big sigh)

9 Lizzy 12.24.08 at 11:56 pm

Er, uh, sorry er, I think I may be responsible for this. I tend to nom earses, espesch on bunnehs. Sorry wittle bun! *knits you another pair*

10 Merry_dawdler 12.24.08 at 11:58 pm

It would make for a better fit with his snoopy-style flying cap and goggles, that’s for sure.
*kisses wiggly nose and snorgles tiny cushy tummy*

11 Elizabeth P. 12.25.08 at 12:35 am

I shall call him Guibbit!

12 Boomer's Babysitter 12.25.08 at 1:06 am

Can the little guy hear? If so, it’s sort of cute/interesting.

13 John E 12.25.08 at 1:11 am

Do you ear what I ear??

14 luckycliff 12.25.08 at 1:34 am

hmmm I think it looks, I dunno, streamlined? Like it could run way faster than even a floppy eared bunny.

15 CJ 12.25.08 at 1:44 am

I also wonder if he can hear. If he has ear canals below his fluffitude.

16 DumBunny 12.25.08 at 3:07 am

It’s just sad.

17 abad 12.25.08 at 3:37 am

It’s still cute, even if it doesn’t have any ears.

18 xyz 12.25.08 at 3:49 am
19 kibblenibble 12.25.08 at 4:13 am

Maybe the figgy pudding guys have an extra pair of plastic ears he can borrow. Seriously, though, he’s still very cute. Happy Holidays to all!

20 BostonBunny 12.25.08 at 4:31 am

At least this disapproving bunny has a good reason for his objection!

21 ffleur 12.25.08 at 5:00 am

I disapprove of this entire discussion. (shhh…he can read lips)

22 Samantha 12.25.08 at 5:04 am

You know people, when we say we want to nom the ears off of little animals, we don’t want you to take it literally.

23 Vicki 12.25.08 at 5:09 am

It’s still cute even without ears.

24 Juniper Jupiter 12.25.08 at 5:51 am

Nubby rabbit?

25 CJ 12.25.08 at 6:13 am

The article posted by xyz says that he’s perfectly healthy otherwise.. and that the mother may have nipped off the baby’s ears!! What on earth? I’ve never heard of that! Why would she do that? Is there some survival instinct reason or.. crazy inbreeding?

26 BunRab 12.25.08 at 7:41 am

Amazing how much like a guinea piggle he looks

27 T.U.M. 12.25.08 at 7:55 am

A DUTCH bunneh with MISSING EARS named VINCENT? Heh, what does THEO have to say about that?

28 Meaghan 12.25.08 at 8:05 am

I once had a guinea pig that had lived in severe overcrowding and his ears had been gradually chewed off by his fellow guinea pigs. By the time I got him they were nothing more than short shredded nubbins. He was pretty traumatized.

29 rachsne 12.25.08 at 8:58 am

he’s still retained the disapproval…albeit a bit wary of the reaction to his disapproval. and might i mention he’s pretty dang cute?!!! prosshhhhnesssssss

30 Decca 12.25.08 at 9:01 am

I think he looks very regal and elegant. Like one spat.

31 zingiber 12.25.08 at 3:39 pm

Is he actually missing the “hearing part” of his ears, or just the pinnae (outer cartilage part)? Shouldn’t be too difficult to test his hearing by trying to startle him with a loud noise from behind.

32 Sandy 12.26.08 at 12:26 am

Decca: “Like one spat.”
I’ve been laughing about that all morning. Wee thing does look like one spat! And a mighty smart spat at that!

33 T.U.M. 12.26.08 at 12:42 am

Rabbits: Spats With Ears

34 spiffy 12.26.08 at 12:44 am

what most likely happened here was the mother (perhaps accidentally) bit the ears off at birth.

i had a mother rabbit that bit an ear off of a baby during birth.

35 Karebear 12.26.08 at 2:40 am

hehe, his name is Vincent? as in Van Gogh?

36 Rita 12.26.08 at 4:04 pm

How sad . . .

37 Miki 12.26.08 at 6:28 pm

Momma rabbits (more common in 1st time moms) will sometimes get into over cleaning mode and will mistake the ears or part of the foot for part of the placenta. Sometimes it happens. But the good news is rabbits heal fast and the “Hearing” part of the ears are on the inside… He probably hears just fine. Though it also could be momma bun learned ear nomming habbits from her cute overload watching human companions!

38 Kar 12.27.08 at 4:31 am

Dang it. I knew I shouldn’t have nomm’ed that last time.

But they tasted so good!

39 totalee puppy 12.27.08 at 1:35 pm

Really sad. Glad someone cares.

40 Katrina 12.28.08 at 4:31 pm

Decca- you rule again, my friend. Niiiice.

41 Eve 12.30.08 at 3:25 pm

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the bunny. However, I feel that I must write this to complain that you delivered my bun -after- someone had gotten to his ears. As the ears are often my favorite part, I humbly request that you monitor bunny shipments more carefully in the future. For reference, I have attached a photo of the offended bunny, and hope to -hear- some resolution soon.

Bunny lover,
Eve
