They WON'T always be gone. Our (very welcomed and enjoyed) family of rabbits have had quite a few generations in our backyard. I love seeing them.
I will never step on dead grass again
“again”!? :o
I thinck this Times i will step in
This is why one should always be careful and check their property before running a lawnmower. Check for sticks, dog bombs, and supposedly "dead" patches of grass that could be a rabbit's nest.
A great video with very timely and appropriate advice. I wish that I had known this when I found a nest in my own back yard. I never want to harm an animal.
Great advice. I'd like to add to be aware that picking up, lifting, moving a cottontail rabbit, can cause a serious harm to the animal including death. Most people are aware that rabbits can get a heart attack from the smallest amount of stress, getting spooked, scared etc INCLUDING moving them or lifting them up. even if an encounter doesn't cause a heart failure, a cottontail rabbit may go into the state of shock, which may cause it dying from starvation, as all the life critical functions shut down, which includes it's digestive system etc. Rabbit may stay in such state for over a week, which often lead to the death of the animal. Just be gentle with them, and remember that we are petrifying giants to them... Thank you for spreading such an important educational info OP.
Thanks for commenting this! 😊
I’m so excited I’m 90% I have a nest from my wild friend Bunions- he, well she, started coming to my kitchen window LAST summer to get snacks and re-showed up this year, I was psyched to see her again this past May!!! Two nights ago I saw this what I thought was odd behavior but I now definitely know she was building a nest! Haven’t had the nerve to look yet because she just built it two nights ago. I am eagerly waiting!!!!! Sooo damn off the charts cute they are 🐰🥰
Serious questions here. I have mowed and have take care of a 2 square mile plot of land for a local business for a few years now. We have an agreement that I mow every two weeks between the months of June thru October. In other words this is not my land. Last year while mowing I found a rabbits nest as when my mower got close they scattered. Of course the minute I saw them I stopped the mower. They were not much bigger then the bunnies shown here but they were able to move on there own. That said they were frozen in fear. With gloves I was able to pick them up and move them to some brush I intentionally leave untrimmed so they had a place to hide. The good news is I save three of them this way. The bad news is I did not see the 4th one until it was to late. Rule #2 when I mow if I hit a bunny the mowing stops for the day.
So this year I began mowing and in the process ran across 2 bunny nests. They are new as they were not there last week when I did my walk through. These bunnies are not moveable but the lawn must be mowed. What is the ethical thing to do here? Mow around them and risk hitting a nest I cant see? Refuse to mow the area and have someone less concerned about them run over them? Use a weedwacker and try to get as close as I can and try to hide there nests from the land owner? I know they are considered vermin where I live but I was raised with a respect of nature so I am asking for real suggestions... please.
Yes use the weed Wacker. I'm dealing with a similar situation.

“Now you guys can see how cute they are-“ *Looks at Rabbits*
“How small they are”
The video should’ve included how to do the string test. When you first find the nest if you’re not sure that mom is around do the string test. Place pieces of string or very thin twigs over the nest forming an X or a tic-tac-toe board. Check back after the next expected feeding. And if the strings/twigs have been disturbed that means mom was back feeding them.
It’s also very important to make sure the nest is kept safe from children dogs and especially cats.
The string/twig test is a very good idea
I am watching mom cover up the hole today.👍
My Collie found a rabbit nest in the flower bed, right by my back door ! It has a 'hair' roof over it - more like what domestic rabbits make. He found it a couple of days ago and it was empty, but seems to be moving, so I'm assuming there are babies in it, now. I got busy, and fenced off the flower bed with that high, wire type, flower bed fencing, so he can't put his long, Collie nose into their 'business' ! :)
0:34 bunny baby is like 'HEY PUT ME DOWN, LEAVE ME ALONE!" poor little guy
They make that sound when they’re in danger
The cutest thing I’ve ever seen. We might have a nest in our yard but I didn’t see anything in there. The nest hasn’t been there for long, definitely built within the last week
Greetings from oakville Ontario i have baby rabbits in my back yard and i built a plastic fence frame
That ibuy from the dollar store and I keep my distance but the same rabbits return every spring to nest
So cute! Do rabbits leave large urine spots on lawns. My dog urinates on our lawn and he leaves big dead spots on our lawn and my husband says no it’s from rabbit urine because he saw droppings. I don’t agree with him what are your thoughts?
I found a rabbits nest in my backyard last night! Thank you for this
Thanks! It's getting to that time of year (we don't have much ''Winter'' break anymore) and I know the rabbits are out there. Thought I'd watch a few vids to ''sharpen'' my eyes. I guess, I'll just set the blade up a little higher and hope for the best. I love to practice ''mindfulness'' while doing chores, so I'll be doing ''mindfulness of mowing grass AND looking for aby rabbit nests!''.
What if they come out of the nest, should we put them back?
We have a nest and just now, 3 or 4 came running out as the mower passed. Im so worried now! I know theres one still in the nest because its moving but I don't know whats going to happen to the ones that ran, They're tiny!
Im afraid to try to put them back because the nest is right next to a busy road.
HELP! Im so worried about the babies. Will the mom find them?!?!
just put them back. the mother will decide whether to move them or not. Also, they grow up fast and leave the nest on their own
also, I would recommend putting like a mini plastic fence around it or a caution tape around it to make sure lawnmowers. Don’t run them over
Tip: if you think it may be abandoned, take some yarn and mke an "x" with it over the nest before dawn (mom usually comes back after dawn) and if its scattered, mom has returned, if it remains, then its abandoned. If it remains, give it at least one more day. Mom could be caught up in hiding from a predator etc.
Also if you can, make some shelter over the nest. Ive seen hawks take them straight from under the fur/grass. I put my fireplace over in my backyard
How do I keep my dogs away?????? Just found a nest in my backyard and we ahve four small dogs that are possed with it obviously!!! HELP!!
I live in a building where they have grass and trees and small flowers and this morning I was waiting for a ride and a baby jack rabbit ran by and was trying to get in,maybe there is or was a nest near by.
Does a rabbits nest pulsate and what do you do if your dog tries to go after a baby rabbit and it’s nest in your own yard
I saved a baby rabbit from my dog last night but I can't find the nest or burrow anywhere. He was in a corner on my porch and I've searched my entire lawn as I have to mow today. I've looked everywhere and I can't find his home.
It's not called a rabbit's nest. The real name is a rabbit 'warren', and those are called 'kittens' :)
Catherine Somers most farmers call them kits
I wouldn't do anything except put something high over the nest to protect it from rain, especially if you cut the grass
What happens if the hole gets covers by accident while cutting the grasss? I’m worry about the bunnies now I do not see new digging marks ..
What do you do if your dogs dug up The baby rabbits and they're just laying around out in the ground. I used a glove and put them back in and put the grass back over. I'm hopefully, I'm watching the next 24 hours. She will come back and just try to keep the dogs away
Domestic rabbits in ground-based pens do the same thing. We thought a pregnant rabbit ate her babies, then she started digging and disappeared down a small hole. A little digging revealed five babies. I envy people with wild rabbits.
OH MY GOSH THE BABY BUNNIES
Thanks for this. I showed it to my son who cuts lawns in our neighbourhood and today he found a nest of bunnies in the ground. Any advice on what to do with them? Leave them, I'll assume?
Cheri Sliz tell him to lower level on mower and destroy them varmints
vincealinceable lol
@@vincealince_SRT murdering babies. So manly.
I was trimming flower plants in my backyard and found a bunch of baby’s in a hole and I think I might have disturbed the nest and I don’t know if they mother will continue taking care of them anyone have an idea of what I should do
How old would those be? I totally forgot to check for them before I mowed yesterday and ran over the den (none were injured). Tonight though, I heard one screeching like that one did and alas, the nest was disturbed, probably by my neighbors cat. 🤬 Wasn’t sure how to know how old they are, but they were about the size of the ones in video, could hop, and scurry off quickly.
the cat probably injured them all, unless the mom was close enough to save them. They look about 10 days old because eyes are open but ears are still flat.
Our grandparents made us do kittens that way
Our grass grew so much while away 2 weeks, we learned there was one baby, too late, sadly. Im sooo sad for the bunny. I dont see any dry patches tho
They don't go away. Cute as they are, we are now completely over run with rabbits and their holes are everywhere in our fenced in yard. I can't even cut the grass without stumbling in a hole. I was searching ways to get rid of them and stumbled across this video.
0:35 OH MY GOD HIS LITTLE ALERT CHIRPING
Why is the grass peach in colurd
What if it rains?
Who else is trying to find bunnies in their backyard?
My golden retriever thinks its great fun to go at their nest, smh. What to do about this? Can we move the nest?
Can't you control your dog??
@@dubistverrueckt of course I can;)
Not just dead grass but with rabbit fur/fluff. If you see dead grass and rabbit fur mixed together in a spot than thats a rabbit nest
One time I did a bump-feed with my trimmer & just so happened to do it right on a baby rabbit. It ran right under my trimmer exactly as I did the bump-feed. It tensed up & appeared to die right away.
How do I found one I’m only in Freeport🙎♀️
thank you, this is good to know
*called wildlife removal
"If you see a rabbit nest let it be and have a good day."
Called Canadian wildlife removal, heh.
Because animal removal is typically for animals that can do harm to you or your property, like rats or raccoons, and unless a small patch of grass is the most meaningful thing in the world to you, then killing baby rabbits is pointless and sadistic.
Until those rabbits grow and have more rabbits and the growth cycle grows exponentially. Then they eat your landscaping.
Not me. If I see a rabbit I shoot it. A nest is a lottery win! They are toast in my yard!
Paul Smith Of course you do because the world is all about you & how pretty your sparkling green yard full of chemicals is.
@@tweetiebirdism lol good one
What if I find one in my BACK yard?
What do you think? Leave it alone.
@@Abbygailohemgee lmao....it was sarcastic
0:26 Trypophobia, anyone?
Cole Guadenine yes!!!! Triggered me so freaking hard ughhh tingles down my spine all day 😥 literally looked through the comments just to see if it triggered anyone else
Cole Guadenine what does it mean
Rafa's World fear of clustered holes
Trypophobia doesnt exist smh
My problem is I have dogs that find them in the yard as well as quite tasty.
I have a male cat so i will do that too
Is it ok if I touch the baby rabbit with no gloves
Need answers
Because I found a bunny nest or a hole in my yard and came running to TH-cam
Aki B I'd assume so. I do it with my domestic rabbits
Aki B I would recommend to use gloves
Who else came from Instagram to here ?
Have one in my yard,i will just let them be, until they leave,just sucks having a hole in front yard.
☯️✨🤗✨☯️
Just Saw A Baby Rabbit 🐇 In The Backyard By The Fence... I tried to capture the moment with my phone but it was too late
You look like Channing Tatum.
okey we went some were an i got the wild bunny
Do as he says. Not as he does.
nah I have cats that love hunting so I'm not gonna leave the baby bunnies alone because I'm not letting them die
i never understood how they stay safe. any predator could just come by and eat all the babies
thats why they chose open areas like that, predators wont look in those type of areas
Ive been looking for baby bunnies for 1 week
me too
You do nothing. You tell your kids to stay away and wait the FEW WEEKS for them to leave
So you basically stole the video?
Antonio deCarmoducci ddi always asks if he can use the vids
Saw one today. All 6 startled me but my lawnmower took care of them
What to do? Leave them alone! Don't touch them!
You cant tell me what to do
Rip my lawn i guess then
Trying to not let my Rottie play with them 😂
If i find a nest like that,ill be keeping them😷😂
i just found a nest today and my dog wants to dig it up
it's a rabits
What is you have dogs tho? Guaranteed I will have a family of dead rabbits soon
Imagine if someone steps on the little rabbits and they explode💔😭😭 ( dont care if i sound crazy)
What's wrong with you?
Tre Billis nothing, just saying.
But I don't want 12 rabbits
First step take am flametrower
get the BBQ sauce...
jk
Just bring out the lawn mower!
Kick em?
Yes
Does anyone know how long rabbits stay near the nest?? So my Siberian Husky found a rabbit nest in my yard and I kept it safe from my huskies, I used a leash with them etc. I let the nest be. Within 5 days of my dog finding the nest, it was empty. They were a fair size, had eyes open etc so I knew they were getting ready to leave nothing unexpected. Well it's been a week, and I thought we had a mouse living in our yard behind a garbage bin but tonight I realized it's a baby bunny! During the afternoon I had a husky outside on leash, and this baby bunny was just sitting in the grass eating away. And then tonight I went out with my husky off leash, within 2 seconds she found the bunny and chased it behind the bin. THANKFULLY she didn't bite it or hurt it. Like it's eating on it's own fine, and it's not at the nest anymore but it doesn't seem willingly to leave my backyard....... is that normal? We do have a lot of crows and coyotes around, so I think rabbits find my yard "safe", but with 2 Siberian Huskies which have prey drive - I can't ever give my dogs freedom to run and play in my yard :(
That's right: you can't because otherwise the rabbits would suffer a horrible excruciatingly painful death. I, too, was about to adopt a dog - a husky, no less. But after watching video after video and reading comment after comment of how "my dog found a bunny nest and injured/killed some/all the babies" some showing the dying newborn rabbits with their faces bitten off LITERALLY, I'll NEVER get another dog again in my life (or cat, just as deadly, maybe worse).
