Last Friday Mike was using the weed wacker by the trees when I saw some baby bunnies running from the base of one of our trees. I quickly said, “Bunnies, bunnies” before he killed one. Three medium sized ones hopped away to the fence and I saw at least one more in the hole by the tree. It was getting dark at the point so we decided to check back the next day and remove the others.
For you long time readers you know our tree saga of last year and about the death of the first three. There is no way we are going to lose a tree to a bunny family no matter how cute they are! So we went back out to check and found that the momma and 3 older ones weren’t around, but the 2 little babies were. I got an extra plastic shoe box and we prepared to move them. Here they are nestled down where they dug out a home next to the tree trunk.
Here they are after Mike pulled them out and they were trying to get back into the hole.
And here they are in their makeshift home. I hope they don’t die, but if their momma doesn’t come back they will starve to death since they are so little.
