This nest of newborn rabbits were found in our yard being born only a few days ago.
The mother comes around in the daytime and also at night. The baby rabbits remain hidden all this time.

  • That's the SAME size as the babies we found in our backyard yesterday - are your bunnies doing ok now?

  • The babies left the nest a few weeks ago. I am guessing they were about 2 1/2 weeks old when they left. I had been checking on them every day and they really grew up fast, to where there was barely any room in the nest for them all. One day I saw a few of them hopping around near the nest. The next day they were all gone. I am assuming they followed their Mom out during the night. I havent seen them since but sure hope they made it. I have a few videos of Mom plus one more of the babies.

  • Oooh what a lovely vid. You are a kind person to be watching over the babies.. although by now (3 years later) they have well and truly scarpered. lol. Nice to watch the vid. Looks pretty snuggly and warm in there, with no tell-tale signs anything is in there. Only hope dogs didn't sniff them out.

  • @drail80s we had rabbits born under our front porch last year and i still see some of them out side under their favorite tree in my back yard abound 9pm, i decided not to let my dogs out until 1030pm

  • @10leesan Hopefully no cat or dog will discover the nest

  • I found a bunch like that last year, but they all unfortunetly died cause the heat was like so HOT!!, but now its a year later in spring and the mother is back, we're thinking she's gonna have babies in the same spot again, This time I wanna help anyway I can to care and nuture for them. I know I should leave them be, but I also wanna make a better and safer home for her cause I live in a busy neighbourhood.

    Any helpful ideas ?

  • I thought rabbits dig holes in the ground? I saw a rabbit near my back door and it was building some type of structure over a shallow hole. Are the wild ones born with fur on them so they can survive because the hole is not large enough for the adult rabbit to fit in?

  • "We will protect it the best we can" *rips up nest*

  • its a myth that if you touch them thier mother will neglect them. there is a nest of bunnys in my yard, and i have touched them with my bare hands and i saw thier mother come and feed them today

  • baby wabbits
