No, no photos. Not a good turn out. When I got home from work last Friday, something had come in to the yard and raided the nest. It had been partially dug out, there were four dead babies laying on the grass, I found another dead baby in the nest. I was starting to fill it in after I buried the babies, and heard a squeak noise. I carefully dug out what remained of the nest, and found four more babies huddled in the dirt. They are currently doing OK, my neighbor took them and has been bottle feeding them with KMR. She just told me last night that they are starting to eat a little greens. If they are eating on their own, then hopefully we can release them within a short time. I'll try to take a few pictures next time I'm at her house. They are cute, but still so tiny. Everyone that I talk to seems to agree that it must have been a cat, though I haven't seen any cats out around my house for years. And, these were babies that had not been out of the nest, so not something fun to chase. Whatever it was, I hope it stays away, and I hope the rabbits find someone else's yard to make their nests in!
