Look what I found.....
5 baby rabbits in a nest right smack in the middle of my dogs yard.

I covered them back up (used a rubber glove) but I know if I leave them there the dogs will get them.

Sent Inkpen a PM - any other suggestions ?

Awww!!!

Move the dogs now before they pick up the scent! Even if it's just until their eyes open. Keep an eye out for Momma.

Yeah - I guess bunnies are not big in the brains department.
I'm on 3 acres - 2 acres are wired for the dogs.
Last year the mother moved a baby right smack into the middle of the yard. The dogs are not vicious (corgis) but one thought the baby was a toy. I found one tossing a young rabbit around in the yard. The rabbit was dead but intact.

To make it all worse I was by my shed and I saw a large chunck of rabbit fur. No blood, bones or other furry parts but just a large knot of rabbit fur. COuld have been my dogs chasing the mother but I've never seen them out run her before. On the other hand my neighbhors cat passes thru my yard often......

Baby bunnies have no scent. Their scent glands are not developed ( same as a fawn).
Mom speed feeds 2 x a day and leaves fast, so her scent is not discovered at the nest site.

Bunnies freeze when they sense danger...hoping thier natural coloration will keep them from being seen.

Wow. You learn something new every day.

I just learned about putting those static cling decals on your windows to keep birds from smashing in to them. I gotta go get me some.

Do tell, please.

I've found a sparrow and a robin on my back deck, dead apparently because they flew into my sliding glass door. The sparrow, well I was home for that one, watching a movie, when I heard a loud thump against the door glass.

Checked it out, and it was in it's last throes. Poor thing
