Rabbits have fur on all paws only the pads don't
HemaShah
I can see fur on the front foot too.
Jellis
Most rabbits do on their hind feet
HemaShah
Thanks Jellis, Look at the feet though. They seem to be covered with fur.

Really hard to tell. Color looks right but can't see the ears well. Mountain Cottontails have shorter more rounded ears then the Eastern.
