Newborn baby bunnies in my yard!

A litter of bunnies (there's 5 or 6 of them) are in my front garden. Their eyes are hardly open yet. SO CUTE!

flip is right, once you touch them the mother picks up on your scent and then abandons the babies, stuuuupid

there were 5 bunnies. and yes, the mom still took care of them after i touched them. for a while we still saw 3 of the baby bunnies around. they're prob still somewhere in the neighborhood, all growed up.

where is the mom? did it leave them to die and you found them?

[CutesyBubblez]

we see 2 bunnies in the nighttime, but not really in the day.

You "don't touch" people are absolute morons, They are not birds, look something up before you decide to preach your myths. A clean human hand is fine to touch the bunnies as long as it's not to the point that the mother becomes stressed, The mother usually will sit and watch the nest from a safe distance and only feed one to two times a day for about 5 mins, Their scent is stronger than the babies so they stay away from the nest as to not draw attention to them from predators,

@chicagolandhobby Actually I am a wildlife rehabilitator in Texas and THAT IS A MYTH! Rabbits will NOT abandon a nest just because you touch it. Please don't call people stupid when you don't know what you are talking about.

@FrillySlayerPig

I didn't call anyone stupid. From what I heard, that's what happens. I think it's the same with birds, no?

@Whytnoiz07 Birds wont abandon their babies either.

Ohhhh, they are so precious. Well, if the mother won't take care of they after being touched by a human.......They are just the right size for finger sandwiches. Just like lamb, newborn bunny tastes best.

You Guys! You CAN touch only baby bunnies that's only with birds... look it up. human hands do not affect them or there mom.
