For the past week or so.. something has been trying to make a nest in our front mulched area. Its less than 5 feet from our front door and equally as far from our next door neighbor's front door. We live in a town house aka patio home.. whatever you want to call it. Every time I'd see the bedding, I'd pick it up and toss it away and smooth out the mulch. I really didnt want some kind of animal nesting there. But I guess they really wanted to be there...
I went out this morning to put my mail out by the mailbox and noticed all this gray fur... stepped a little closer and the fluff moves... Oh yea.. there's baby bunnies in it. Ugh. They dug the hole and filled it with fur overnight. It wasn't there yesterday, I'm positive.
Now I'm worried about the few random cats we see out and about... And now we have to be extra careful when letting the dogs out the front door. We'll be leaving it alone... I have to walk near it to water my daisies (green & yellow pots in the first pic)... but other than that, we'll be hands off! Don't want the Momma to abandon them.
I'm not thrilled about this because a bunny made a nest near my mom's front door a while back and we woke up to baby bunnies strewn about the front walk way. Momma never came back for them so we tried to care for them and they all died. I hope this Momma does better!!
Here's a few pictures of the nest.
This is looking at the mulched area from the street. The nest is behind the center rock.
