New Additions

Our newest additions (I promised my husband they were temporary) . . . 6 wild baby bunnies! ! !

They look to be maybe a couple weeks old. Three of them are pretty weak. I gave them some sugar water to get through the night and will start them on some milk today.  I checked them at 3:15AM and all 6 were still alive (whew).
I was helping one neighbor clean up her poor Hens remains (frickin' stray dogs) and ended up meeting a new neighbor who told us the sad tale of these poor babies. They found the nest over the weekend while doing yard work and the Momma Bunny took off leaving the poor babies in the burrow and has not been back since. Before you could say Jack Rabbit I had the babies under my wing (actually in a plastic bin) and I will try and nurse them back to health and release them (no where near my garden).
When I was much younger, maybe 10 or 11, we lived in California and part of our animal collection consisted of some 300 Rabbits. Mama Rabbits are notorious for getting bored with their babies so we took care of lots of Itty-Bitty babby Bunnies. I hope I have not forgotten how. These little ones are so darn cute.
