A bittersweet story: There were two babies... the lawn mower found the first one. :'(
I rescued the second one and Mum held it in her hands, inside our home until I finished cutting the grass. THEN we let it go.
Cute little thing!! Probably about 2 weeks old.
...In the last segment of this video, observe the mother bunny's body language when I speak to her. They all respond positively when I talk to them gently. If you have a guinea pig, you'll know they do the same kinds of things; they are very social and love it when you talk to them - they usually respond by eating or drinking while looking at you with bright eyes: they are 'sharing' their food with you! (They are including you in something they find delightful - eating!) In this film, the mother bunny relaxes and gets comfy when spoken to.
Now, a year later, there is one grown-up bunny who doesn't run away from us as soon as the other bunnies do... this bunny has a baby now, and neither of them spook and run like the others.
Could it be the same bunny I rescued and held, come back to raise her young close to us?
