Look who's eyes opened and ears stood up between this morning and this evening!
We found this one in our garden (nestled in the lap of the neighbor cat...), but he was a-ok. We shooed away the cat and this little guy hopped all around until I scooped him up and put him back in the nest.
We found a second baby rabbit out of the nest and in the front yard, and though he seems fine, he was a little worse for wear, showing a couple of scrapes and a bloody nose, and his eyes weren't opened up yet. He was pretty shaky, so we nestled him back with his brother, and hopefully he'll be fine. The other 4 rabbits are nowhere to be seen. I'm hoping they hopped out and left the nest (we have learned that rabbits leave the nest about 10 days after birth) and were not victims of the cat. For poor Fancy's sake (who is SO sad that they are growing and leaving her), we are going with the "they were ready to hop away and have more babies" story.
