Thanks Jacque Cousteau.

Feed those little suckers to your cat now before the multiply like rabbits.

I found a nest in my yard about 6 weeks ago and never did anything, now I got wabbits out the ying yang. :doh:

They are cute little guys....

My daughter is begging to keep one/all.:frusty:

One is a mean SOB... You get close and he snaps at me... My fingers must look like rabbit teets:noidea:

JIM

How do you know the momma isn't around :noidea:

Maybe she just needed to take a hop (walk):biggrin1:

I dont know if she will come back or not... Now that we disturbed the nest:noidea: We are oing to leave them over night to see if she comes and gets them... I may set up the traill camer to watch...



JIMHow do you know the momma isn't around :noidea:

from what I seen, mommas are gone pretty much all day and come back right before dark

Leave them be, and dont touch them anymore......

the mother will be back, the reason the mothers dont hang around them, is because it draws attention to them (predetors)

Domestic rabbits will survive at 20days old......if there mother is killed....

they will die at 19 days.....

Wild rabbits are a tough bunch.....

LIKE I SAID, LEAVE THEM ALONE.....

you can look from a distance.....

Will the mama take them away? Cause right now my pit bull wants a new chew toy, so we cant let him run free in the yard till we get them taken care of.

JIM

NO, they will be there till they are ready to run around.....you have about a week, then you should be good to go......

if its questionable you could just do them in now, and save your kids the tears later.....:noidea:

Survival of the fitest........

we get them taken care of.

JIM

your gonna kill them aint you......you big mean man, you.........:laugh: :laugh:

They are to small to make stew out of just yet...

but if my dog gets at them... he will think they are toys... Can I move em?

JIM

this is funny.... i just came in from cutting the grass and found the same thing. i didnt get any of them with the lawn mower. i had to put a little fenceing around it so that my dogs wont get them.

the mom only feeds then once a day, usually at night or just before.

wait a minute....how long have they been there and your dogs were not bothering them. Did you show your dogs where they are at :noidea: :doh:

Momma might have abondoned it.....or it froze to death.....

keep away from there if at all possible

mother nature has a way of dealling with the weak......

when i found it it was still really warm but it was dead. i was out there in the yard and hour or 2 before and it wasnt there so it couldnt have been there long. once i seen it was dead i took it to my wifes work. (shes a Veterinarian)

wow, do you live in town?

Yep... but There is probably as much wildlife here as in my deer woods....

I have pics somewhere, of a 4 point in my front yard.

My back yard runs into what is caled the pit, its a city park with a giant pond and walking trails. And a skate park:doh:

JIM

what city do you live in? kinda sounds like westland.

Tecumseh

its amazing how fast it happens aint it....??:rockon:

i didnt expect it. took the dogs out and noticed the grass covering the hole was moved around so i walked over there and there was nice opening and they were all gone...... now i can cut grass in that spot!

did you see any coyote scat with fur in it?......:noidea: :D

no fur anywere. i doesnt look like they were dug out.

sounds like Sturgis been deer hit downtown on rt.12
