A rabbit in the garden

There is - big surprise - a rabbit in the garden. He (I refer to it as a male) is wreaking a tiny bit of havoc on the new plants. Snipping them off at the ground it seems. Or perhaps he has a partner in crime.

He's tiny and quite tame. Almost as if he had been an Easter bunny let loose, but is really too small for that. I can walk right up to him and shoo him away before he moves a muscle. Perhaps he thinks if he's still as a statue I can't see him or will consider him yard art.

We've set traps in all the gardens, which by the way are fully fenced but I think he's still small enough to squeeze through. Another few weeks and he won't fit. But if he's caught before that he'll be relocated to a new neighborhood (I've requested this of my gardening gang, and hope they will oblige and not turn him into Hasenpfeffer.)  Despite his havoc, I think he's too cute for dispatching any other way. If I get a picture of him in the next day or two, I'll post it. Then I'll be gone for several days, and surely by the time I get back he'll be in his new home.
