I hope you're ready to say 'ahhh', because this adorable little bunny who was born deaf with no ears has had a set knitted for her and she looks pretty fucking cute.

Little Mimi, who only has three legs, now how has a pretty decent collection of woollen ears thanks to her owner 22-year-old Rodajia Welch.

Rodajia took in Mimi, her litter-mates and mum after their elderly owner became too sick to care for them. However, when she spotted that Mimi looked a little bit different from her brothers and sisters, she decided to get creative and set about knitting her a set of ears.

Mimi is now the proud owner of some pink and white rabbit ears, little mouse-type ears and even some flower crowns.

Rodajia explained: "Deciding to make the ears all started with finding her a name - it obviously had to be ear-related.

"So, while doing some research my boyfriend Josh came across Kemonomimi, which is a form of cosplay where the characters have animal ears.

"It was perfect because she didn't have any ears and she could be whatever she wanted to be.

"I got super excited and decided to make her her own pair of bunny ears."

And it is probably the best ever thing you did, Rodajia - I mean, look at her.

She now plans to keep the litter until they're old enough to go to new homes, but says she'll be keeping Mimi.

"Mimi is the runt of the litter and was born with no ears and three legs - she's missing a front one.

"She's the runt and a lot smaller than the others so I believe that it was maybe a lack of oxygen or not enough nutrition for development.

"She only wears the ears after I've just made them for pictures, or when she's sitting with me.

"She lets me put them on her but for safety reasons I don't tie them in a knot so if she wanted to, she could just knock them off pretty easy.

"She doesn't act like she's bothered by them - usually she's eating so she doesn't pay much attention.

"Sometimes she will try to eat the ribbon but then I take them off or move it, so she can't get it.

"The other bunnies aren't around when I put them on, they would probably try to chew on them."
