Early this morning I was busy weeding and clearing out a garden bed that really doesn't produce anything worthwhile.
I had decided to completely clear it and then cover it with some heavy duty ground cloth.
I could then make it look better with a variety of drift wood, rocks and plants in pots.
Good idea...right?!
So I'm going along with my three pronged tool and I dig up THIS!!!
YES!!!
FIVE baby bunnies with their eyes still closed!
I felt horrible!
I was freaking out!
I called dh out to take a look and that brought the bigger kiddos out to look too!
I even called a friend over to tell us what we should do.
[I figured he'd had more experience with such things.]
So...we ended up tucking the wee bunnies back into their "nest" and hoping that the Momma would return and take care of them.
We did check on them the next day and Momma had been back to feed and soothe them.
[We even looked 'baby bunnies' up online and found out that they don't open their eyes until they're 10 days old.]
We did find the 'nest' empty the next day and we think that Momma moved them.
Since they had been 'discovered' and it really wasn't the best place for them anyway.
We have plenty of shrub covered ground in our front yard and I have seen many a bunny hopping about there.
I hope they've found a more undiscovered home and are growing into healthy happy bunnies!
[Just stay OUT of my garden please!]
