In the middle of our lawn, we noticed a bare spot. Upon raking it a bit, we heard shrieking, and peered inside to find 5 baby bunnies, eyes closed, ears back.
We left them alone, and the mother came back that night. We woke up this morning to find 3 gone, one gruesomely killed outside the hole, and one left inside. Not knowing what to do, I scooped the baby(whose eyes are now open, and ears are comming forward) up and put him in a towel lined box with pieces of the nest in it.
He was scared at first, but is now happy and loves to explore my room, sniffing around. He drank some of the recommended amount of kitten milk replacement formula from my hand(He''s not a fan of the bottle), and is resting in his box in my warm, dark room.
I''m so nervous, I know fatality rates are high for this little guy, but he seems to be doing ok. I think in a couple of weeks he''ll be ready to be released. He looks well fed, and alert.
Any suggestions?
