Baby Rabbits
 

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. Was mowing the lawn today and found these little guys nested right on my fron lawn.

awwwwww, look at those lil babiessssss....they are soooo cute!!!


im a girl, what do you expect...LOL:laughs:

That is a great picture....what did you do with them?:D

I hope they didn't make too much of a mess to the deck of the mower:uhoh:
Just kidding!
We've got a birds nest(robins) under the overhang on my garage on top of an outside light.
The mother has been sitting in there for quite a while and the eggs hatched over a week ago, my kids have been having a ball watching the whole process

Ya didn't hit them with the mower did ya Ron?:smash: :D

Bait!

dinner

a coat

AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, Wookit Da Widdle Buck Tails!!!!!

Got Chum!!

Brutal crowd. I knew tha "bait" jokes would come quick.

Didn't do anything with them. Left them right there, although yesterday there was a foot of grass around the hole and now there's nothing. I'm hoping the mother will move them some place but I'm worried she may not come back.

Of course he hit'em with the mower,
look how short their ears are :eek:

Take good care of them Fish On....if the mother does not return, call a local Audobon Society, they might be able to put them in good, caring hands to raise them until they can be released.:D

Good news! Ichecked on them this morning and there was fresh grass over the hole. I think she's been back!

:btu: Nice....please keep us informed Fish On!:D

yea! mommy doing her job! those babies are soooo cute, the lil tiny bunny ears get me....

i remember when my bunny was that small...now shes a big fat white terror:laughs:

Actually, the NewEngland Wildlife Center in Hingham deals with this kind of stuff all the time.

WOW!! Being from Brooklyn....the fact that you have a front lawn amazes me........nevermind the rabbits. ;) Good luck with them.

Wouldn't last around here - coyotes :hihi:

Mmmmm.......good in a stew!

No seriously , very cute. My 4 year old wants more pictures if you can.

Be Berry Berry Quiet, Were hunting WABBITS!!

C'mon John, I ain't seen no Yotes in our neck of the woods.:laughs:

No coyotes, but we do have other predators around here. This one's been hanging around today. I hope he doesn't find my bunnies.

ps: they are doing great, mom's been back every day. Hopefully this guy doesn't see her going to the nest.

Here's a picture from today. These guys are really getting bigger! Eyes are wide open now and they are actually making little bunny noises.

Mother Nature is a wonder.....she does great work!;)

they are just too cute...keep us posted on these lil babiessss:)

looks like its getting crowded in there. We had only 3 in a hole this year. They grew real fast. I still see them when im cutting the lawn,as they spook out of the shrubs. they are fun to watch.

There's 8 in this hole if you can believe it. I want to get some pictures when the first come out of the hole but I'm afraid I'll miss it. I don't think it will be long before they are hopping about on there own.

Update 6/3 Getting Bigger
 

Wow, not sure how long they will be in the nest now. They are bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

awwwww.....look at those lil guys, they look like they are about to hop the coop..ar..ar..ar


too cute....thanks fish on for keepin us posted...mother nature is great:D

Hope you don't have a garden....... if so, you probably won't think they are so cute.

Maybe the Last Photo in Nest
 

Well I just took a peek in the nest and these guys are really getting big. One of them bolted across the yard. I had to chase him down, put him in my ball cap, and put him back in the nest. I was lucky to catch him.

Anyway there are only 6 in there now, so either 2 were someone's lunch or they already left the nest. I can't imagine and animal would have eaten 2 and left the rest. I hope it's the later.

Also, I say a gray fox in my backyard today. I hope he doesn't come back.

Cheers!

Pretty amazing if you think about it.....rabbits having a gestation period of about thirty days!!! Hence the rabbit fornication jokes I suppose....:rolleyes: :D

The rabbits ate all the flowers my wife planted around the house.

Well this morning they are all gone. I sort expected to wake up this morning and not find them.

A bit of sad news though, I found one on the lawn, not sure what happened to him, but at least one didn't make it.

I hope the rest of them made it ok.

Rabbitts aren't the only babies in my yard
 

Here's another little guy I dound venturing from the nest.

sadly it looks like he fell or was pushed out of the nest, to young to fly yet, looks like a blue jay chick...

he was probly the weakest in the nest either that or he got to close to the edge....

thats a great photo though, really clear....

poor lil guy:(

That may be true, but amazingly I actually caught the mother (or father) feeding the little guy on the ground. Also, they were sticking close to him from the tree above. I couldn't see a nest anywhere though or I'd try to put him back in. He's pretty mobil hopping all around so perhaps the nest is a way off.

BlueJays will kick your ass if you get too close to the nest/baby.
