Snapped a photo yesterday of the five (I think there are five in the nest) rabbit babies in the backyard nest.
You can see from the photo, the nest material is gone. They are growing every day. And look like little stuffed animals.
They still depend on Honey Bunny's (momma) milk for nourishment. They will be weaned at about three weeks old. Then they will be able to eat grass and hay.
For now they are safe. Hoping for a good outcome.

I hope the best for them, too. It must be fun watching them grow into big strong bunnies.

@CarolDM Is there a way to protect the nest without scaring the mamma off?

@kaylachan The only thing to do is try to keep predators away. I have gotten some advice on that part.

Aww, they look so cute.
Like literally stuffed animals.
Yeah, look like they are 5 in number
Didn't they try to run away when you went close to them?

@Prabhatsingh No, she watches from a distance. And feeds them once a day.

@marguicha Thanks! Their nest is in the ground, so I was standing over them.
