Tobi and Catherine, to answer your question about the baby rabbit being born in late autumn:
"The breeding season for most rabbits lasts around 9 months, starting January/February to October" -

Tobi, what an exciting experience with the baby rabbit! It reminds me of how a grey rabbit hopped into one of the park lodges of Richmond Park, stayed there hopping around, and was adopted by my mother, who worked there. He became her family pet, called "Bun Bun". He lived in the house and was almost house trained, doing his business on newspaper (well, most of the time!). He was a terror for chewing electrical cables, though, haha!
Has the baby bunny gone now, Tobi? The "rough games with golf balls in tunnels" with Sally sounds like fun!
