Wild baby rabbits2007-11-24 22:20:02

It is true that the mother doesn't spend much time at the burrow. Her secent & motion could attract predators to the young. Therefore, she comes and goes.. Only stays long enough to feed the young.

If they are fully furred & eyes are open, they are just about the leave the nest. Leave them be & let Mother Nature work Her magic...

we have alot of bunnies in our yard too so ive learned a little about them, the mother leaves them during the day and only comes back at night to feed them and if they are really little they still need to be nursed by the mother.

tHE MOTHER DOESN'T STAY AT THE BURROW VERY LONG. ONLY TO FEED THE BABYS. iF THEY'RE EYES ARE OPEN AND THEEY CAN MOVE AROUND BY THEMSELVES THEY SHOULD BE OKAY. gET SOME RABBIT FOOD SINCE ITS BETTER FOR THEM. wE THEY ARE READY TO LEAVE JSUT LET THEM. mAKE SURE THEY CAN GET OUT THE HOLE WHEN DESIRED.

you have to be very very careful if you scare them to much they can have heart attacks

You are correct.

Tell them to put the babies back where they found them. Wild rabbits feed their babies at dusk and dawn. They do not stay at the nest for safety reasons. They are close to being weaned.

If the want to make sure mom is returning to the nest put 2 twigs like an X and it will be moved when mom returns.
