Fifteen Rabbits (German: Fünfzehn Hasen: Schicksale in Wald und Feld) is a 1929 survival and adventure novel by the Austrian writer Felix Salten. The novel depicts a year in the life of a colony of rabbits (in the original German version, hares) in the same forest where Bambi dwells.
As the title indicates, there are 15 hares/rabbits who feature in the story, but not all of them survive to the end. Although Fifteen Rabbits is a story of a collective, the young Hops is the main character, with his beloved Plana.
