Rabbits are known to be gentle creatures but they're still animals and we always have to be careful when dealing with them.

Taking their gentle nature for granted is NOT something that we should do.

A family from Taiwan learnt that the hard way when visiting a leisure farm there recently.

A rabbit reportedly bit off part of their son's finger when he stuck it through the fence.

Don't be fooled by the cute, floppy ears.

The one-year-old's mother allegedly left him for a brief moment to buy some rabbit food and then suddenly heard screams from the toddler.

Chewed it right off

After rushing to her son, she realised that the rabbit had actually bit off part of his pinky finger!

The incident which occured at the Goat World Leisure Farm was witnessed by a woman named Wu who posted about the matter on Facebook.

Razor sharp teeth.

Another report by Channel News Asia detailed that the Taoyuan Fire Department discovered that the tip of the boy's finger had been separated at the first knuckle.

The park’s owner, Chiang Chang Li said this is the first time such an incident occurred in the park.

The park is currently assisting the family with insurance claims.
