Almost anything is cute in the first month of its life but these photos that document these rabbits’ first 30 days are tough to beat.
When photographer Ashraful Arefin’s bunny Tooni gave birth to four babies, he decided to take a series of adorable snapshots.
He says that the project started about 10 months ago when he brought home the two bunnies, Tooni and Nottu, in Bangladesh.
Mr Arefin said: ‘I found that apart from being an amazing companion, they are very photogenic, so I started photographing mine and a friend’s bunnies and shared some of the photos on the internet.
‘They got a great positive response, people from all over the world said that they love them and wanted to see more.
‘So when my bunny Tooni had four babies, I thought this would be a great chance to document their growing up moments through photography.
‘I wanted to keep a souvenir through the photos and also share my happiness with people.
‘All of these photos were taken between day 6 to day 30, right now they are 2 months old.
‘As I’ve photographed bunnies before and since the babies are seeing me from their birth, it was easy to photograph them this time.
‘They are very comfortable with me; I just followed their activities and was ready with my camera to capture the moments.’
Newborn: The tiny baby rabbit is barely as long as a finger when the four babies were first born to parents Tooni and Nottu. Ashraful Arefin atsrted taking the pictures because he already regularly photographed the animals and got a great response
Hands up: This adorable baby puts her paws up and rubs her face. The baby is so young that it has not even opened his eyes
Handful: The baby is so young that it barely has any hair and sleeps adorably in the photographers hand, fitting perfectly in his palm
Yawn: The tiny creature is sat on a towel and yawns as photographer Mr Arefin catches the beautiful moment on camera
Flying: The curious baby rabbit peers out of the tea cup at a tiny little butterfly and the playful little bunny looks ready to give chase
Blind faith: The photographer said that the rabbits were easy to photograph because they were entirely comfortable with him
Wide awake: The rabbit looks remarkable more mature less than a month after it’s born as it watches the insect fly nearby
Full of life: The photographer said he loved taking the photos of the little companions and wanted to share his happiness with others
Peekaboo: The rabbit is looking much bigger than in the earlier photos but is still small enough to fit in this tea cup and peep out
Ball of fur: He can hold the entire bunny in his hand and the cuteness of the little black and white bunny is almost too much to bear
Growing up: After the earlier photos show the bunnies as newborns, these later shots show its remarkable progression in just a month
Souvenir: The diary of their first month will help the photographer and animal lover remember those adorable moments at the beginning
They grow up so fast: The rabbit now has fully grown whiskers and looks fully formed
Proud dad: The owner thought the project would be a great chance to document the animals jorney as they grew up
Big jump: The rabbits are now two months old but this is one of the final photos, which were all taken between days six and 30
