<-------Sucker for the furry critters! blush.gif

giggle.gif You guys are too funny! Thanks for the offer Goodwood but the only thing I shoot the bunnies with is my camera. char098.gif
Sure would make one sweet fur blanket though. cloud9.gif I created this madness by giving them water and then seed, so I am making the best of it. They really like that hollow log in the yard, I can even get them to go on top of it by putting some seed on it. I watched a male chase a female around like a train caboose one day. She went into the hollow log as he followed and circled around and went back in. He of course was right on her tail but when she got to the other end of the log, she turned around and pinned him in the log and started to thrash him. smiley-shocked003.gif She let go and he raced out while she stayed inside and ate some seed. He was so funny to watch after that! He kept his distance but still followed her around.......love eh! smiley-laughing021.gif

chin.gif I was thinking it might be fun to do something that makes people say...."I can't believe you got all those bunnies to do that!!" biggrin.gif

Here is a picture of the yard after we put up the fence....and after the cat scared most of them away. laugh.gif Just took them a few days before they could tell she couldn't get to them.

Goodwood, don't let Mrs CP fool you. That's her stash for the dark days.... it just stays fresher on the hoof, errrr foot. And she's not kidding about that blanket, neither! ohmy.gif
Wow, Quinn (our military macaw) just said "Bunnie burgers, mmmmmmm! Hahahaha!" Eerie!

Correct Goodwood and breed they have been.....I even know where the nursery is. Can see the kits finally wandering out making them independant bunnies at that point. Those are then ready to breed after 3 months from birth. wacko.gif I have tried to cut back how much I feed them, but then they pour on the guilt thick and I eat it up!! mellow.gif

Yeah, but it really needs to be the left hind foot, taken on a rainy friday the 13th under a full moon from a live rabbit to truely be effective. Or so the lore goes.

It has been so dry out here (as you can see) that there has been nothing but old dry vegitation for the bunnies to eat. Tiny little digs all over from them just looking for new sprouts or roots. Boy are we due for some moisture!!! Here is a picture of a young bunny (about 8 weeks old) foraging.

Most of the rabbits around here never see standing water unless you count an ocasional puddle. They sure have been happy for the water we give them! Was really cute watching it drink from the water dish for the first time. Cautiously creep up to the dish, look in then shake like it was having a convultion, dig it's nose in, then shake again. After a couple of minutes of this, it finally starts to drink. whew.gif happy.gif

CP was sweet enough to help me bring this nice yard ornament back, when we were out cutting fire wood. happy.gif
The bunnies seem to approve of it also. biggrin.gif

Here is one relaxing on this fine Labor Day weekend.

I was going to post this one in the wildlife encounters but I remembered that you guys don't consider them wild at my place. laugh.gif
They still won't let me touch them...When I do, they jump and look at me like I'm crazy! giggle.gif

laugh.gif Actually at the time, all I had was a cup full of seed and a warm smile. biggrin.gif I read that the European rabbit can dig up to 10' down into their burrows. Not sure if it's the same for cotton tails but I wouldn't doubt it. Just watching them all have fun in the snow this morning.

Here is a picture of a couple Hoar frosted bunnies at 2 degrees....granted not as frosted as they were at -6 but you can see the frost in their ears. Early in the morning when they are hunkered sitting still, the Hoar frost gets pretty thick on their backs.
