Rabbit plays fruit machine in pub

A rabbit has become an unlikely regular at a Worcestershire pub where he enjoys nothing better than a sip of cider while playing the fruit machine.

Daisy, who is a male despite his name, was brought inside the Prince of Wales in Malvern by landlord Ian Randall to escape the cold weather.

Mr Randall, 29, said: "He's quite an inquisitive rabbit, and he keeps on looking at the flashing lights and reaching up to have a go.



"The locals have to keep a careful watch where they stand when they're having a flutter, because Daisy's usually right behind them waiting to have a go himself."

Mr Randall took Daisy in as a pet when his owners moved away from the area two weeks ago. "We were surprised at the reaction of our locals when we brought him inside from the cold - most of them took to him straight away," he said.

"Though there's a handful of drinkers down here who would probably much rather put him in a stew."
