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
