One summer a few years ago, my neighbor (city woman newly moved to the suburbs) comes banging on my door. With her eyes all big she says, "you gotta come out here and tell me what this is"

It was a nest of like 15 newborn bunnies 😁

Don't overwater them, they're very delicate

Many years ago, my grandmother asked me to plant a potted plant for her. I took the spade to the designated spot and stuck the tip down atop the ground cover there and something underneath screeched.

Turned out to be a clutch of rabbits much like the one in the picture. All of them were fine. Just startled. I wouldn't have known rabbits ever made any sound whatsoever if I hadn't happened to disturb them.

Yooo how did u manage to grow those. Must have used some secret sauce fertilizer to get results like that.

(...but fr what are those cute lil things)

Bunnies! I need me some bunny seeds

I have a Leonberger and raised garden beds so they’re at the perfect height for her to checkout what happening in the bed. She always seems to find these bunnies before I do. When they are big enough she’ll take them out of the bed and try her best to snuggle with them. Nothing gruesome, she’s trying her best to have a friend.

Worst part I’m allergic to rabbits.

I would have thought they'd keep their babies deep in warrans.

Nah they're not smart. One left a litter in the grass next to some loud equipment. I dunno if it scared mom away or not but one morning during power up I found 3 frozen dead buns. Was not a good day.

Oh, that's horrible.

I was mowing the lawn when I lived with my parents one day and I chopped a baby bunny's ear off even after doing a walk around before I mowed. Luckily he was gone in about an hour, but yeah, bunnies aren't smart.
