"Rupert" the teeny deerski is here just in time to distract everyone from their economic woes.
This little guy was apparently delivered by deer C-Section (Deersarian?!) after his Momma got hit by a car... See this and MANY more photos at the main story over at the Cute Daily Mail.
Tiny hooves of thanks to EVERYONE who sent this one in, 'specially Arlo R. (Go Vikings!)

Is she part pig? Look at the little moist pig-like nos-tri-cle.
Oh wow, that is the prettiest, most awesome, adorable thing!!!!! Squeee!
*peers at ring*
Wat it rescued by Dumbledore?
OMGoodness!!!! I don't WANT......I NEED!!!!
Has anyone read the article yet? Because if I am reading this correctly, the name of the wildlife hospital that rescued this adorableness is called TIGGYWINKLES. I, for one, am totally moving to England right NOW.
Eeeeeee!
Yup . . . Tiggywinkles in Buckinghamshire. Extra syllables = extra cute!
NECK WRINKLES!
EEEEEE!
AWWWWW I wants snuggle tiny Bebe!!!!
I can't decide which is cuter -- the baby deer or Tiggywinkles Hospital!
Had no idea they look like cute spotty gremlins so soon after being borned.
Tiggywinkle is the name of a hedgehog in a story by Beatrix Potter, the hospital is named after it (in case you didn't know!).
Orgh argh PLEASE GIVE C.O. CLOSEUP OF HOOF PLEASE sooooooooo cute *curls on floor in cute OD*
ooooohhhhh.....soooo cute!!!!!
I miss my deer farm.
hee hee. The cutest part is the lil Brad Pitt nose.
I sent this in tooooo... how adorable is that little guy and it's mandatory that you click the link to see the other even more anerable peekchures
How utterly darling! I would like to just cuddle him and take him home. What an adorable baby!
LOL @starling! Good catch--I'd say that's definitely the Deathly Hallows ring. Watch out, dear deer-caretaker!
he looks like a magical creature!!
"The small deer is also known as the barking deer"
he barks?? Hm.
As if this whole thing wasn't enough to give me a brain hemorrage (sp?) we've got "Tiggywinkles" too??? Ahn...
this deer totally needs a pocket pets tag instead of just unusual animals
His name is *Rupert*, peeps! RUPERT!!! Born in *Tigglywinkles* Hospital!
If that's not just the proshest name for the tiniest, cutest, softest little British buckaroo bebé...!
wow! he does have a Brad Pitt nose!
I will refrain from any tick or Photoshop jokes.
Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital -- that's all I have to say!
Wow. I saw an article about him on Fark (of all things!), but none of the pictures in the showed any scale... I didn't realize he as so tiny!
@starling: I see what you mean! Heehee... I could see DD doing that, actually. ^_^
If I had the doe, I would fly to England and fawn over him.
Tiggywinkle = hedgehog AND possibly the cutest word ever.
Beebee deer! It reminds me of a real life version of Deery-Lou!
Gasp..... WANT.....NEED...
LOL @ Oakley
But seriously, those pics brought tears to my eyes. Oooooh and I second the request for a close up of teeny hoooves...
Technically, it's Saint Tiggywinkles, and it's awesome:

Do you have any money? If you do, give it to them.
BTW, this would make a great "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!" picture. ^_^
And they accept other donations as well:

Oakley, if you lived in Buckinghamshire, you could hoof it and save a few bucks.
I feel so horrible saying this, but the poor guy is just going to get hunted in a few years. :( the fate of a little fawn baby is never a good one. :(
Melissa, are you sure of that? I think the UK has plenty of protected parks where this little guy can browse happily, just like we have here in the US. I live near a place called Cades Cove, NC which is a protected deer paradise- observe the deer tranquility;

Here's to hoping this will be a protected park deer.

non-official COXCU - hope that helps, it's not such a pretty COXCU though, the hooves are a little rough there.
Catch a bebeh deer, and put eet een your pocket, save eet for a rainy day...
Meg, close up shop.
How can you find something cuter than a baby deer rescued by humans and fits into one palm?
Unless someone turns one in tomorrow where we find out a hedgehog and elaphant rescued the baby deer and are raising it together.
Wow. It's kinda sad that some people can look at a photograph of a baby animal and see nothing but tragedy and death. It's a photo of a baby animal and that's all.
If the deer lived in Yellowstone, would you say "poor guy is just going to succumb to a predator of some sort"?
Can you not just enjoy the cute picture? Really?
*sniff*....Bambi...the true story...sorta...*sob* Sweet little guy....
Sorry, I definitely enjoy the picture, I was just sayin'. I hope they keep him in a wildlife park, that would be awesome.
They're bound to give it to an estate with a big deer park when it's grown. Bebbehs like that never end up back in the wild.
WILL HE GUIDE MY SLEIGH TONITE?
I'm one of the many who sent this in. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it had been posted, but was disappointed when my name wasn't mentioned :(
I'm glad there is no one around at the moment to hear me exclaim "he is so little. SO LITTLE. awwww pow little deer. OMG HE IS SO LITTLE."

There, your name mentioned. :>
I completely agree with fish eye no miko. x3 That's probably the best phrase for this pic. XD
This deer will grow up to save the world.
