Awww look who finally open his eyes. We have a nest of baby cottontail bunnies we found in the backyard. And before anyone says anything about it Momma bunny will not abandon the babies after I touch them. I make sure to put them in the same spot and I make sure to cover the nest. Momma is still coming back and feeding them. I don't handle them all the time. This is the only time I have picked them up. We had a huge rain storm and are getting more rain this week. I was checking them to make sure they were ok after all that rain.
I just had to show you how cute these little babies are. They are around 7-10 days old.

It's the same people that think birds will abandon their babies if you touch them. I just had to put that stuff in the description so people didn't get mad at me for touching the little one. These guys actually were born eyes closed and ears closed but they grow quick. I want to put a camera outside and catch momma coming and going but it's hard when momma comes only at dusk and dawn.
Then they must be mixed with a domestic.
Cause wild rabbits are born eyes open fur an ears open an able to run when mama an them are in danger.
Ive handled wilds for about 6 years now.
An yeah people cry baby about it all the time.
Oh mama wont come back for them you have to kill it now.
Dummys.
But yeah the bunny doesnt look older then 1-2 weeks.
They grow faster then domestic .
Watch by a month they will be big bunnies x3

I'm not sure. They look like the wild cotton tails we have around here but I wouldn't doubt they are mixed. Rabbits are popular around here. Yeah people bring us bunnies at work all the night saying momma abandoned them. I sigh and get mad because it's like Momma only comes twice a day. They will be just fine during the day. I just go out and make sure she is still coming back because we have Coyotes, stray dogs, cats and cars around here so i just make sure she is still coming back for them. There are 2 of them and I looked it up and a few websites have said they are 7 to 10 days.
I can't wait until they are bigger and running around the yard. I am hoping by us being around them as they grow they will be less afraid of us. I love having them around.
