On Palm Sunday in 2011, the O’Rourke family found two baby bunnies alone and weak in their Tucson, Ariz., backyard. Instead of hopping around the garden, one bunny, named Joe, would drag his legs behind him. The family realized he was a paraplegic, and this is probably why the mother abandoned them.
Joe could still play with his brother, but dragging his legs everywhere could rub them raw and leave them open to infection. To make things easier for the bunny, the family designed and built a cute little wheelchair to elevate and protect his legs in style.
The O’Rourkes took the bunnies to a wildlife center after nursing them back to health.
These baby bunnies are mighty cute, but with Easter coming up, remember they aren’t toys to be bought on a whim. Rabbits need nearly as much maintenance as dogs, and can live up to 10 years. If you’re ready for the responsibility, there are lots of rabbits in animal shelters waiting to be rescued!

the box was way to big for this little bunny dont you realize at first and should fix it before, altough he get use of it, the bunny suffer ! So sad for the bunny whit this boxchair was way to hard for this baby cuttie to handle. Next time pay attention how the bunny feel on the box chair that was not good for he size. But its great to see he was save.
That is super!
Mayby not a “box”, but a pallet so his body can lie on it as he pulls with his front legs??? But applause to the little boy who tried, which is more than many would do!!!
