Hello everyone! Just joined so I cansee if anyone has advice. I'll try to make this short andsweet. We live in a city on a corner lot and we have aSiberian Husky. Our husky likes rabbits and we unfortunatelyfind adults wild rabbits dead in our fenced in backyard. Lastnight when my husband was crossing our yard he stepped into a hole, butit felt squishy so thankfully he didn't step with nearly anyweight. What he found was a hole with seven bunnies init. Our dog hasn't been outside much in the past 2 weeksbecause of rain. We called around to some animal resues tofind out what we can do because leaving them in the hole in the middleof our backyard wasn't an option because sooner or later our dog willfind them. Surprised she hasn't yet, but that's because thebunnies have no scent. Anyway, none of the resue places wouldtake them and told us to move the den. We didn't have verymany options to move them since we have neighbors, but we dug a newhole outside of the fence and still on our property. We thinkit will be okay there. We moved the bunnies and the beddingthough I'm not sure if the hole is deep enough. We are hopingthat the momma will find them there. What are the chances ofthat happening? It's weird that momma had chosen the middleof our yard since we have no trees and no bushes only dog smelleverywhere. Now if the momma doesn't find them, will theysurvive? There is 7 of them and they are all about 4 - 4 1/2inches long when they aren't stretched out. The resue thoughtthey were about 14 days and that they are close to the age when theyare on their own to feed. If the momma doesn't come back,what do I feed them?
Thanks in advance!
