| Can you see both baby bunnies? |
While my husband was mowing on Friday, six itty-bitty bunnies shot out of the ground in the middle of his path. Though their eyes were open, they were so small and ADORABLE! They scattered to all corners of the yard. He immediately stopped. We carefully gathered a couple who were far from “home” and put them at the entrance to the hole and they climbed back in.
This little one was too far from home and
so scared. We got him back where he belonged.
Many years ago when my children were six, eight, and almost ten, we found some newborn bunnies in our side yard. They were so young, their eyes weren’t even open yet. We gathered around the hole to gaze at these adorable critters. We were careful not to touch them nor harm them. We merely looked. A few feet away, one of the parent bunnies stood watch, glaring at us. After a few more minutes, we moved away and left them alone. When we came out again later in the day to take a peek at them, the parents had moved the babies. We were all glad we were able to see them.

Bunny Fun Facts:
~ Male rabbits are called bucks, females are does, and babies are kittens or kits.
~ Bunnies do something called binky when they are extremely happy. This is when they hop and do a twist in mid-air.
~ The Flemish giant rabbit can grow as big as a toddler, up to 22 pounds and 2.5 feet. My nearly two-year-old granddaughter doesn’t even weigh that much.
~ Rabbits groom themselves like cats, licking their paws and fur.
~ Though rabbits and bunnies are the same thing, hares are not. Hares are usually larger with longer back feet. They are less social and live alone, while rabbits/bunnies live in groups. Hares have a coat that changes from brown or gray in summer to white in the winter. Rabbits have the same color fur year round. Baby rabbits are born hairless and blind, completely dependent on their mommy. Hares, on the other hand, come out fully clothed, eyes open, and can move on their own soon after birth.
~ Their teeth never stop growing.
~ They sleep with their eyes open to be able to wake up to potential danger. Bunnies in captivity sleep about 8.4 hours a day.
~ Rabbits can jump a distance of ten feet and as high as 3.26 feet.
~ Bunnies’ ears can rotate 270 degrees and can hear a threat approaching up to two miles away. The ears also help cool the bunny.
~ Bunnies pur when happy. Ahhhhhhhhh!
