Luna was sniffing around the yard in front of our building the night before and in the morning in a suspicious way, so I started poking around

Unfortunately, I found some evidence that the recent lawn mowing had killed a small animal, which started me looking for rabbits

I didn't expect to find anything positive, so imagine my surprise when Luna and I found a nest with warm babbies inside ;o;

I put Luna inside and went back to check the babies for injuries

They were so soft and wiggly and FAST

good lord, so fast

how did you resist kissing the little white spots

kadath: mostly by imagining how much it would hurt if they bit me in the face

awwwww

BUT IT WAS HARD REGARDLESS

rabbit bites do hurt way more than a herbivore chomping you should

soft and wiggly and fast, all of my favorite qualities

We put the babbies back in their hole and tucked the fluff back in around them, and then I set up The Bunny Basket

(Shira then found a fourth baby a few feet off by virtue of almost stepping on the poor thing)

(It was also soft and wiggly and fast)

I wanted to set up some strings to see if mama came back, but we had severe storms forecast for last night, so I figured that I wouldn't be able to tell if mama moved them or the weather, so I didn't bother

And resigned myself to not knowing

A few hours later as I was leaving the house I saw

Coincidence??

Maybe??

I stayed very still and waited....

Aaannnd......

Bingo!!!

mama found the babies!

BUN REUNION!!!

AWWW

telling mom all about the GIANT FURLESS MONSTERS

their adventure in cardboard

Their horrible, terrifying adventure

I can only imagine what my neighbors must have thought, watching my chubby ass running all over the yard and throwing myself on the ground trying to catch them as they bolted XD

oh yeah those guys are almost nest leaving age

good at bunnying

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing them out and about in a few days

They're not quite at softball stage, but they are close

these buns!!!!

!!!

I was afraid that the lawnmower got the mother bunny

yay for bun reunion

Luna is such a good Finder

and you and Shira such good Bunsitters!!

Aww bunny adventure!

Glad you got that mom closure
