what to do w/ baby rabbits?

[IndyGunworks]

I hate these things.. I live on a VERY small lot, and yet again, a rabbit decided to use my backyard to have its babies... this means that every single time I let the dog out she goes crazy and barks and makes the neighbors mad. Well I found them before her this year and have 4 of them around 6 inch's long. I don't want to let them go elsewhere because they will just grow up and eat my garden like the others. I can dispatch of them humanely if i need to, but wasn't sure if there was a market out there. Maybe someone would want them to feed a boa constrictor or something.

If anybody wants them or knows someone that does, or has an idea otherwise let me know or i will dispatch them.

They should meet my pet, Rocky BalBoa. I have a feeling he would just love them!!

If you got a constrictor, and want to come to the east side they are yours.

not enough meat for the time. If i were out in the country i would consider feeding them out.

You can relocate them to my yard.

My cats take care of them for me. I found a nest in the garden one day this spring. Uncovered it and the next day, the nest was empty. Good kitties....too bad they didn't get them all since I now have others eating my plants in the garden.

Found one with the lawnmower once when I was a kid. That was at least quick. If they haven't found a home by tomorrow, I'll come get them. I have another young one in my yard, may trap that and do some breading. Er, breeding. Breading comes later.

That's usually pretty quick. Mom abandons them soon.

I had a cat that would LOVE baby rabbits. And I loved that cat...

We went threw the whole bottle feed thing a few years in a row. What a lot of work! I like my bunnies but hate the damn squirrels! Best of luck.

IME, they tend to jump into the lawnmower when it goes over their hole.

 

[IndyGunworks]

Well, some neighorhood kids decided they wanted to try and take care of them, so i set them up with a dog cage, blanket, and a few other things.... if theys survive more than a few days, ill post back on here because their mother says they can only keep them until they are "healthy".... whatever that means. I doubt those kids have the capacity to care for them, but it will be a good life lesson for them.

Conservation officers will be along shortly to kick in the kids front door and euthanize all animals in sight. Maybe maybe not. But I would check to see if it's legal to keep a "game animal" even if they are trying to save it. There are some very stupid laws concerning wild animals. They don't care if you are trying to do the kind thing or not. They'll come without the lube!

Make sure they check them for ticks! Every baby bunny I have handled have had a few. If they will eat they will be fine. It's best not to handle them. If you do use a rag. if they make it 3-4 days they should be fine. put grass bedding in the box. When they start to nibble you can set them free in a few more days after that. Best of luck to the bunny's.
