Well, eight baby rabbits were born about noon today and when I went out to change the water bottle I checked the nest, saw them in there, pulled them out, checked and counted them then put them back in. Morgan was digging around the colony for fresh straw so I started pushing a pile toward the nestbox. She hopped in the nestbox and started shoveling it in between her feet as I pushed more straw toward her. I think she appreciated the help so she didn't have to run around the colony and bring straw back. I sat by the nestbox and watched her pack the nest up tight as the six week old litter played around my feet and nibbled at my boots. Adam chased her around a bit trying to get her in the mood but she would have none of it.
Spending time with the animals can be the most relaxing and enjoyable part of my day.
