Baby Wild Rabbits’ Nest

September 23, 2010

in Wild Rabbits

My cat Sylvester discovered a nest of baby rabbits under my back porch. I heard a squeek and saw him pawing at something and thought it was a mouse…until I crawled under the next day and found this nest. Luckily, my cat was full on cat food and wasn’t craving the taste of a rabbit so he was mostly curious about them. They were all ok. There are 4 clips I edited together. I took these clips over a 1.5 week period. Then, they left the nest. Of course, I didn’t touch them or move them. I thought they were abandoned and was going to rescue them until I read the facts on wild rabbits and how the mother doesn’t sit on the nest. She only comes back once in the dead of night nurse them to avoid attracting predators. I would see the mom come back and watch me from my neighbor’s yard. This is the first rabbit nest I ever came across. They were just adorable! About a week after leaving the nest, I saw one in my flower garden hanging out and one running down my neigbor’s sidewalk. There’s a ton of rabbits in my neighborhood. I’m sure they’re all grown now and are the ones I see nightly in my yard. I created this video at www.youtube.com

After getting spayed, she no longer uses her litter box. She did use it for the first 2 days after the surgery and then stopped after that and hasn’t used it since. She got spayed a month ago. Please help!

Hey,
I have a rabbit and some foods make her sick and i need to know what she can and can’t eat

I’m not sure what kind of rabbit it is
This is my first rabbit and I have never raised rabbits before. So I barely know how to take care of them.

Well I need to know in day numbers at what point as she currently lives with another rabbit and two g pigs

Help?
The other rabbit is a female, and I feed the guinea pigs seperately. Thats not even the question.
