QUIZ: I Found A Baby Bunny

I found a nest of baby bunnies in my yard. They were covered with dry grass and fur. They’re moving around, and act like they’re hungry. What should I do? Leave them in the nest and put the grass and fur back over them. Try to give them a little warm milk.

I've never seen wild babies up close before. I want to tell my friends about the nest I found. What should I do? The only way for the bunnies to be safe is to keep the nest a secret. It won’t hurt anything to show the bunnies to your friends.

I accidentally touched the bunnies when I found them, and I’m worried that the mother won’t come back. What should I do? Put some clean bedding in a shoebox and bring them inside, then call a rehabilitator. Don’t disturb the bunnies again. Pick 6 long blades of grass, or 6 dandelion stems and make a pattern, like a star or tic-tac-toe board on top of the nest, and stay away from the nest until the next day, at the same time to see if the grass or stems have been moved.

I haven’t gone near the nest, and I didn’t tell my friends about the bunnies. But I haven’t seen the mother rabbit. Why hasn’t she come back? She will only come to feed the babies when she doesn’t see anyone watching. She must be hurt, or afraid to come back.

I used blades of grass to make a pattern on top of the nest and left the bunnies alone for a day. When I came back, the grass had been moved and the pattern had changed. What should I do? They’re trying to get out of the nest. Take them inside to keep them safe. The mother must have come back to feed them during the night. Don’t disturb the bunnies.

I've been staying away from the nest, and I think the bunnies will be okay, now. But I still have a question. How long do bunnies stay in the nest before they start to explore without their mother? About three weeks Ten days A month or more

How do I know if a bunny is old enough to be on its own? Its ears stand straight up, about an inch, and its eyes are wide open. It runs away from you if you come too close. It is about as big as the palm of your hand, but it looks like a grown-up rabbit, just smaller. All of the above.

I found a bunny in my yard, and the nest is empty. It is sitting very still, and it looks big enough to be out of the nest, but it doesn't run away. What should I do? Pick the bunny up and put it back in the nest. Go away from the area and keep pets inside. Wait four hours and go back to see if the bunny is in the same place. Take it inside.

How can I tell if a bunny needs help? The grass blades you put on the nest look exactly the same the next day. The bunny is bleeding, and it has flies landing on it. The bunny is bigger, but it sits with its eyes closed when you get close to it. B and C A, B and C
