Found this hole...........Some days I guess the rabbit hole doesn't go deep enough.
 Poor little sweeties!! I covered the hole with a piece of ply wood to keep them a bit safer for now. Not even as long as my finger and don't even have their eyes open yet. At least three in this nest.

Babies are doing ok now. Peeked under the ply wood and all seems good. Let me clarify......The hole is actually underground the rest of the way, just a spot over the babies caved in....hence the ply wood over the caved in part. Been raining since so they would have been very wet.

I can't believe how tiny they are. Very vulnerable at that stage. I'm rooting for em! Hopefully that ol rattler doesn't find them.

You think that's small, take a gander at that wee little white tail.
 With the ply wood covering them, their chances are much better now. Wish it was a better pic but I didn't want to disturb them much. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

Growing fast!! Give them a week and they will be on their own. This picture was taken this morning. Still three in the hole but when we lifted the board, one took off to the right where the hole widens a bit. Eyes open, more fur and ready to run.
 Took this picture and didn't even have time for another and they also shot to the right. Without that ply wood covering the hole, something would have gotten them....... Between the rattlers, Bull snakes, Harriers, Shrikes and cats around here, these little guys sure have to start off on defense....and they do!Sooo cute!!

This is a picture of one eating seed on a large lava rock. When the seed starts to get low, it uses it's tongue to get the ones that are in the lava holes.
What can be better than licking lava rocks first thing in the morning.

I can think of one or two things that are too inappropriate to comment on.

I'm astonished how so many of my family hang out at your place, Denise.
Besides I prefer the blue pill. Looks more like Skittles to me. -------------------- Today's socio-political climate is rock solid proof that Adam and Eve weren't prospectors.

No blue pills or Skittles on these plates Carl! I took a video of them eating trying to catch the sound they make........will have to check and see how it turned out later.
Now back to the lava rock licking bunny.

Dan filmed me feeding the bunnies in the morning. You can hear them eating the seed towards the end of the video, sounds like a crackling fire or a big bowl of rice krispies.
Enjoy!!  "Morning Bunny Feeding" -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

There's some stuff you can put in the feed you're setting out for the rabbits that will reduce the risk of flea infestation. I strongly suggest that from my experience with rabbits. Your rabbits are not penned up, so no matter how much you try they are at risk of flea infestation. And when you get fleas you also get micro-bugs. Tularema, ringworm, buobonic & pneumonic plagues, and rabbit pseudo turburculosis are but a few.

I understand as a bunny you may have experienced these things.
Seriously though, these don't seem to have bugs. The only time I see them scratching is when the flies and mosquitoes are out thick in the summer. No signs of bugs or fleas on the cat or dog either. Hard to tell by the video but there are usually around 25-30 at a time in the mornings when I feed them. Think that's a lot? Nothing like Bunny Island in Japan!  Someday I will be able to lay on the ground and have bunnies all over me like bunny island.  Or how about a bunny stampede? (also bunny island) Too funny!! The pied piper of bunnies?
