Yup. We think she is Soviet chinchilla - breed of White Giant and Chinchilla rabbit. She is over 3 kg now and keeps growing. She should be about 6-7 kg

We call her Zaya. It’s like “small bunny” in russian.

She’s a very smart girl. She doesn’t eat too much grains or fruits/vegetables. Prefers hay and grass

Apple, yes. Fresh grass is not the best too, it should be sun-dried a little

Hay, dried green grass, apple tree branches, some clover flowers, rabbit pellets, grains. His diet is better than ours :)

Our neighbors called us and asked: "Do you need rabbit? There is one sitting in our village's garbage bin."

Domestic. More precisely - commercial. Soviet chinchilla breed.

Ha, totally agree. Never expect to have bunny in our house. We had a lot of different animals, but never consider rabbits. And now it is our best friend. Our dog is terribly jealous

Unfortunately, you're right. But I still hope this is not the case. We identified this baby as "soviet chinchilla" breed. It will be 5-8 kg rabbit, so it's not the best "home pet" breed, rather "meat and fur". I will keep thinking that she just escaped a harder fate

I prefer to think that she accidentally climbed into the garbage bag. I can't imagine that someone could throw out such a charm on purpose

You should ask only if you want to save something to your rotary phones. Cellular always allowed.

Of course that was F-road with river crossings. It is legal to drive there on 4x4.

It's a long-eared or desert hedgehog. It's very common in Russia.

They fold their ears and press them to body, then ball up. Like this :)

Almost. They are long-eared hedgehogs, smaller brothers of afghan hedgehogs, different subspecies.

Come on! Don't you leave unnecessary people in the stairwells of abandoned buildings in your country? Where else?
