Norbert

This is Norbert.

Or at least that what's Chris has named him.

My husband works at U-Vic and sees them almost everyday. There is a bit a of bunny population problem at the University. Well according to some people-others think that they're just cute so no problem. There is this one bunny that he sees regularly and he has named him (her?) Norbert. So today in the rain we went out to find him (her?). While I was bent down to take pictures, Norbert came over, checked out me and my equipment, pooped right in front in front of me, climbed on my leg and hopped off the other side. Unfortunately I had the wrong lens on the camera and the pictures of this came out a bit fuzzy. But I did find out one thing when I got home, it's a lot harder to get red-eye out of a bunny than out of a human.

I called this guy Bully-Bunny. He hopped across the road and scattered the 10 or so bunnies that were minding their own business, happily munching on the grass. He would go right up to them and nudge them and start pushing them around.
This is Chris trying to the attention of some bunnies. Eventually two of them-including Norbert did come up to him and then Bully-Bunny came up and scared them all away!

Run away Bully-Bunny!!!!

So the bunnies just run around campus?! That is so cute. I would want to take them home though. Is Norbit's eyes really that blue?

That is so cute!

I love the first picture, actually, even with the red eye. It's very "pet cemetery" spooky!

Bully-Bunny sure runs fast, doesn't he?

Yup they're all over campus. People will even just come up and drop off bunnies they don't want any more. They cause a lot of problems with the houses on the outside of the campus because they burrow into their house foundations or something and cause damage.

Norbert's eyes are really that blue. That's how Chris always finds him-he's the only that is black with the white stripe and blue eyes.

Bully-Bunny came in like a demon! He ran across two lanes of traffic and into the grass area like a blur. It was hard to catch him hopping because he was so fast (I just laughed when I saw the one I did get though).

And there is even a Facebook group called "I wish the U-Vic Bunnies were Pokemon So I could Catch Them All" (and yes Chris has joined that).
