Our little orphan/Baby Rabbit

Meet our new temporary edition.
My eldest daughter Vicki works in Pets at Home when she's not in college.
Yesterday a couple brought in a baby bunny they had found at the bottom of their garden.
Now we've bred bunnies before and from what I can remember this little lad is far to small to be away from his mum.
They don't know where he came from but brought it in hoping someone could hand rear him.
Vicki of course adopted him so now we are syringe feeding him until he's able to fend for himself.We do have a permanent home for him to go to once he's old enough.
I estimate him to be about 3 weeks old,his eyes are open and he is walking around.
The people who brought him in had been feeding him spinach .I've not tried him with solids though as I don't think he's old enough.
We think he's a lion head as he has the startings of a little mane
We have named him LUKA
Do you like him?

Just a quick update
Luka is doing very well He's increased his intake of milk now .Next step when he's a bit stronger and older is to try to get him to lap and introduce some solid food.
By the way he's bitten holes in 2 teats now so I'm going to have to get some more.
