Nest of Bunnies
I found a nest of Baby Bunnies. What should I do?
1) I found a nest of baby bunnies in my yard. They were covered with dry grass and fur. They’re moving around, and act like they’re hungry. What should I do?

a) Leave them in the nest and put the grass and fur back over them.
b) Try to give them a little warm milk.

2) I've never seen wild babies up close before. I want to tell my friends about the nest I found. What should I do?

a) The only way for the bunnies to be safe is to keep the nest a secret.
b) It won’t hurt anything to show the bunnies to your friends.

3) I accidentally touched the bunnies when I found them, and I’m worried that the mother won’t come back. What should I do?

a) Put some clean bedding in a shoebox and bring them inside, then call a rehabilitator.
b) Don’t disturb the bunnies again. Put three small twigs over the nest in a star pattern, and stay away from the nest until the next day, at the same time.

4) I haven’t gone near the nest, and I didn’t tell my friends about the bunnies. But I haven’t seen the mother rabbit. Why hasn’t she come back?

a) She will only come to feed the babies when she doesn’t see anyone watching.

5) I put some twigs on top of the nest and left the bunnies alone for a day. When I came back, the twigs had been moved. What should I do?
