Baby Bunnies in our Yard

This morning, while going outside to enjoy what little bit of cool air we were going to get all day, my hubby nearly stepped on a tiny, baby bunny. He was so cute and looked so helpless... I went in and did a Google search on "tiny baby rabbit in yard what to do" and found out that rabbits leave the care of their mother and protection of the nest in as few as 7-10 days and are on their own from there. As long as their eyes are open, they are mature enough to care for themselves. Amazing!

The first one we found, I relocated to the raspberry bushes because it was out in the middle of the yard and I was afraid for it. The next one we found was next to the nest, which held 2 other youngsters that hadn't yet ventured out. We decided to let nature take it's course and let them be (but keep a close eye on our footfalls for a while!).

Here's some shots of one of the little cuties from today. Enjoy :)

Wish him luck - he's taking his first steps into the world!
