Springhaas

I guess they don't have a smell, either. The breeder says that they smell less than a rabbit. They also make a couple cute noises!

I have more info from the breeder if anyone wants to read it for schnitzengiggles.

Wow, they are awesome! I've never even heard of them until now. :shock: I wouldn't want one as a pet though, lol... rabbits are exotic enough for me.

They're cute, but I'm more partial to patagonian cavy's myself.

Springhaas pictures! Woo!

I was at the zoo yesterday, and they have a Springhaas there. I took a few pictures and some video. I am in the process of uploading the videos. All of them are a bit dark because the Springhaas is housed in the "nocturnal mammals" area of the zoo. There is only a little blue light in there so you can see them (a little bit).

Until the video loads, here are the pictures!

Little-tiny-hands-washing-face action!

In a little better lighting:

I love their tiny arms!

When we were there, Will actually admitted that he thought they were cute! I WIN!
