I checked on the baby bunnies in our back yard today and they're looking really good. There are five in all. Four are about the same size and then there is one that is about half the size of the others. They now have their eyes open, so I am guessing we are going to be seeing little bunnies hopping around in our back yard any day now. They are so cute to see, but we are limiting our visits to once per day and we always put the nest back the way we found it so the mother rabbit doesn't abandon it. The best I can tell, she must be coming around only during the middle of the night and hides elsewhere during the day. We have never seen her with the babies, but from the way they are developing it is obvious that they are being taken care of. My main concern is about predators. We have snakes and lots of hawks out here. I sure would like to protect the rabbits from becoming dinner for another wild animal, but that is how nature works. What else can you do?
More news soon.
