Bunny update

mama bunny jun 8

Mama bunny came by just a few minutes ago!

And she must have really liked the bits of brush and bramble I put around because she rearranged it to cover the babies better. :)

Oh, Mama bunny is a lot cuter than her lumpy little offspring! But I am glad they are reunited!

Yeah, the babies were not all that terribly cute, but they are probably very young since according to the info I can find rabbits leave the nest and go off on their own at somewhere between 10-12 days. I don't want to bother them too much, but I might try to get a picture or two every other day or so to capture their growth.

Aw, that's so cute!

It is taking every ounce of my fortitude not to check on the baby bunnies every other minute.

Oh, awesome! I was worried. Ascii found some baby squirrels on a walk last year that did not have a happy ending and I was afraid the bunnies would end up same way. Way to be an awesome den maker, ma'am!

:) It is very hard to refrain from going out there and peeking at them, but I'm trying to be good.

We had some baby birds over our front porch light, and it was indeed very hard not to peek. Mrs Robin was very upset every time we left or returned to the house, though she never attacked, which was good. But when it was time to fly, I accidentally scared one of the little birds out of the nest, and had to flag down a car to stop it running over it. Thankfully, it made it safely across the street and seems to be all right. But the little beaks sticking out of the nest were adorable!

Maybe she's just extremely fussy as to the nursery's decor.

Heee Oh dear, I sense a lecture in my future! :)

Aw, yaaaay! It's so cool that she's close enough for you to see from the house. (Maybe she's a new mom and not that "street smart" yet about locating her nests in really secluded places!)

The nest is actually not watchable from any window and is somewhat protected on two sides by fencing so it's not in too bad a spot. It's not the best of places, but then again, this is the city, there aren't a lot of really great places.

Yay, glad she came back. Loved that she rearranged everything to cover the little ones.

(except she did too good a job, I can't peek at the babies anymore!)

Awww! That sucks that you can't see them anymore.

YAY \o/

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2013-06-09 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay bunnies! I am a bit saddened that she did such a good job of covering up her brood I can't really go peek at them anymore :(

Yay! Glad she came back and is taking such good care of her babies.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2013-06-09 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! She is a good bunny mama :)
