bite size bunnies

so as you can tell we are pretty rabbit focused around here right now.


Here is the reason why.
That black lumpy pile is composed of four ever so soft and furry baby rabbits.
They are just over a week old now, so we feel a little more confident that they will survive


for this little guy it was not a sure thing. I found him pushed out of his nest the morning after he had been born. It had been raining all night and he was completely chilled and soaked. He was still moving though, so I snatched him up and put him in my shirt. It took about 2 hours but next to my skin he was able to warm up again. I was worried that mama rabbit might not let him back into the nest or nurse him. Never fear he was welcomed back into that warm little pile and is thriving!
