Scooter

April showers bring May – long, uncut grass?

To the untrained eye that is just a mess.  To me however that’s the 2011 rabbit’s nest.  Our first nest was in 2008.  It was right below the window in the living room and we were lucky enough to be looking out the evenings that the baby rabbits started exploring.  They explore for two nights at sunset then move out. 

We usually get one nest with 3 or 4 babies each year.  In 2008 the last one out and the first one back from exploring didn’t hop.  It pushed its front legs our and scooted along.  Jacob quickly named it “scooter”.  Each year since then all of our rabbits are scooter.
