@touchingwildhorses The first time we spotted Madame Lapin in our yard, she was underneath one of our birdfeeders eating the seeds that had fallen to ground. We sure miss her.....:(

I have a really important question. We have this tiny tiny baby rabbit in our yard, only a few days old at most, and he's been here since yesterday. His mother hasn't come back for him, so I am figuring she is dead. How can I capture the baby?

@HedgehogOutdoors Hi Hedgehog, I've never had to capture a baby rabbit so I typed in 'Trapping baby rabbits' on the internet and they had quite a few links with information. The two we had were so small, I could pick them up and they didn't try to get away. 'Madame Lapin', their Momma, was very use to me being around so she didn't mind at all. I always wore gloves. They even have links giving you information on how to care for them but they say to be very sure the Momma isn't still around.

@62747 I am pretty sure the mama isn't around. We waited all day yesterday, and this morning the baby is still here. I will google it. Thanks for the quick response, I appreciate it.

@HedgehogOutdoors Good luck to you and the baby rabbit!

@cowsrock94 Yes, she was always calm when she came to eat out of my hand. It's been a long time since we've seen her. We see several rabbits in our yard but they won't let us come near them like "Madame Lapin" did. We sure miss her.
