    As a bunny owner thank you for taking care them and letting them stay safe. It’s rare for wild bunnies to trust a human like that to get so close without running away.

      I've noticed my cottontails getting more comfortable with me by the year, never used to see them in our fenced portion and now the juvenilles spend most of their time in the fence. Sneaking around. The adults don't run away from me unless I get within 10 feet, they used to dart off the minute they saw me.

    In case you didn't know. If it rains really hard and the nest gets full of water, the babies will actually float on their backs and keep their mouths above the water line in order to breath. Pretty cool.

My neighbor has been in their house 10x longer than me and said they've never had a nest let alone seen a rabbit in their yard.

    That bunny has trust in you a full100% to let you get that close to her while she’s feeding the babies. I would think that is the same bunny that uses your garden as her baby bunny hole. She knows you won’t harm them and you have an abundance of food for them.

    I love it. That bunny is not afraid of you because it was probably one of the babies that you found a year and a half ago, and now it has grown up, remembers you coming around when it was just a baby and totally feels that you are welcome in her eyes around her babies. I mean like you said wild bunnies there is no way they would be this calm around you normally they would run away and try to return at night. I totally think that is one of the little ones you saved from the rain/storm, and protected from the lawn guys etc. Nice work! ;)

      I believe bunnies can live up to 10 years in captivity when taken good care of. I know mine lived 9 years.
      I don't know how long they usually survive in the wild, but as long as no predator comes and gets them and food is abundant, they can survive longer than just 2-3 years.

      Yep, people just fill in the holes without even thinking about how they’re actually attempting to suffocate/starve an animal.
      When I was a kid, my dad started filling in a hole, and I was like “you’re gonna trap it in there??? To starve???” And he was like. Oh. Huh. And he removed the dirt he put there. Sometimes people just don’t even consider it.

    We rescued a wild Eastern Cottontail baby from our back yard. She was all alone, and so tiny I fed her with an eyedropper in the beginning. We live out in the woods, with rattlesnakes, hawks, eagles, bobcats, and coyotes. I knew she wouldn't live long in the wild. She is now going on 10 months old, has an entire Florida Room to play in, is litter trained, and is at home with my 6 parrots. 😂 I questioned every day if I had done the right thing---until I learned a pack of wild coyotes had gone through our neighborhood preserve. I haven't seen a single wild rabbit since. I think they decimated the rabbit population.😢 I live in Florida, where building expansion is wiping out native habitat. It is so sad.

      You did the right thing either way. People are crazy to think an animal who barely lives a year in the wild is harmed when someone takes them in. It's a kindness. I take the juvenilles in sometimes just for a little while to help them get bigger before being on their own. Mainly the ones I find that just sit there instead of staying hidden or running away.

    Hey i was thinking actually maybe this bunny is one of those bunny last time you checked on and recorded video they were 6 maybe one of them back to your yard bc she remembers you when you uncovered their nest so she knows you and she feels safe with you

      It does have a huge impact on their behavior as adults when you visit them/pet them in the nest. Especially once their eyes are open. They will be scared the first time and then after that they enjoy it and that has a lasting impact on how they see you.

    It's a privilege when an animal trusts you. We found a nest in our irises yesterday. I am staying awa6 but monitor now throughout the day from the house. We have some adult bunnies on our 6 acres and a couple don't get spooked by me when out in the yard. I dont think I'll be able to do what you did though. Loved the video.

    My raised bed is almost three feet off the ground yet a rabbit has made it a nursery for her buns, I’m not sure how she gets up there to feed them but they are thriving so she’s making it work somehow. My Great Dane brought me one (gently) in her mouth and that’s how we found them because we haven’t even started planting yet!

    • @auroraanderson6816

    Thank you for sharing! I have a bunny we watched bring leaves and dead grass to the hole she dug under an azalea bush. it is completely covered now and we think she gave birth in the last 24 hours. I was searching for "mother bunny feeding baby bunnies in wild" and your video popped up. Thanks again and I L💗ve your channel!!

    I have quite a few bunnies around the house, which is amazing because of all the cats around. I was watching a big one the other day and it was eating the flowers off the dandelions in the back yard. I never saw that before.

    Rabbits just love raised garden beds. We've had many litters born over the years in our garden (which is about 2 feet off the ground); and once, we even had a litter born into a leaf mulch and grass compost heap. Sometimes you don't even know there was a nest until you find it empty, months later. Also, I think the mother tolerates you because she's gotten used to humans and has learned that cats and other predators tend to avoid areas that people frequent a lot.
    A couple years ago, a rabbit and her babies (~25 days old) got attacked by a raven in my yard. The bird got one of the babies, and the mother took off with 2 more, but she left behind a 4th who was injured in the attack (it didn't appear that severe, but they're delicate, so who knows what internal damage was done?). We were waiting for her to come back, but she abandoned it to the bird, and so we tried to help it. Unfortunately, even with the right care (goat milk and a bit of heavy cream fed through a dropper), and eventually vegetables and grasses, the bunny still died after a couple weeks. That's pretty typical apparently...even without the injury, only 10% of rabbit kittens that young make it under human care. If they are weaned, they can generally make it on their own; if not, they are HIGHLY dependent on their mother.

    Great bunny video. You're so kind to the Mama and her babies. We have a garden and yard and have so many bunnies, too. This year one of our matriarch Mama bunnies has built her nest under a platform in the yard so the dogs and coyotes can't get to her babies. They often build nests in our garden, too. We have a strong fence to keep predators and deer out as well. I think the loose soil and seeds and new plant shoots invite them into the garden to nest.
    Keep up the good work. Human babies usually feed for about an hour every 2-3 hours day and night, so Mama bunnies seem to have it easier. But, we don't have to worry about rain getting on our babies. Thank heavens.

    I don’t know if these are eastern cottontails but I have them in my yard and whenever I have seen babies in our garden or other areas of the yard it seems they feed at dawn and dusk. I’ve been hanging out with this bunny for over a year and she’s given birth a few times, just saw her making a nest in the garden again. It’s so cool to see. :)

  • @adriennetochter6873

    How adorable! I loved seeing the babies grow and leave their nest. I wonder if the mother could scent you, even though you wire a glove, and that’s why she wasn’t afraid. She knew you’d been at the nest and not harmed her babies. So interesting, to see how she cares for them. Thank you.

    • @cattfishing
