I was mowing our front yard last year and when I got to this certain spot, I mowed and too late, this little thing popped up out of the ground, and I ran over it. There was no way anyone could have seen this. I did not know that they burrowed into the ground, I got down on the ground and looked and it was like a cone shaped nest and all of these little babies were just crammed in there. After that devastating episode, I put a few garden sticks around where the nest was. I sure don't want to do that again.

Momma rabbits only feed their babies once a day while in the nest. The milk is incredibly rich. It is natures way of protecting the babies (which have no smell). Minimal action around the nest by the mother keeps watching predators from finding them. The babies scatter as soon as they leave the nest to increase chances of survival.

We have lots of bunnies here, lady next door has big pine trees they live under and 2 big holes in our fence when they come to visit our yard to eat the clover. We have 2 beagles and they are on the hunt all the time. They got a robin this Spring but no bunnies yet this season, guess they ar too quick for them...........

My daughter is volunteering at the animal shelter in Colorado Springs, where the huge Waldo Canyon fire is. She said a big, burley fireman walked in, reached into his pocket and handed her a baby bunny. She said it melted her heart.

we have a privacy fence also and chain link around 3 sides and still they come in. my dogs have caught several this year, and when i hear the crunching i know what they've caught. i've just paid a small fortune to get the dogs and cats dewormed, and the dogs all their shots and flea medicine, so the rabbits can dig into our yard and bring fleas and other parasites. i've had pet bunnies and that's one thing, but i don't need wild bunnies eating my plants and making my cats and dogs sick. i won't hurt an animal, but i don't always approve of where they choose to be!
