Glad it all worked out!
One year while the farmer next door was tilling the alfalfa field he found a baby bunny bouncing around. He stopped, scooped it up, and after a few minutes found the nest. He purpously tilled around the nest so as not to disturb it, (but had to stop constantly to catch baby bunnies bouncing in his way). Talk about paitence!
He checked on them one last time and the mother was still nowhere in sight. He left them alone confident the mom would come back, but when darkness fell, the temps dropped and we had a spring frost. He got nervous and didn't live nearby and so called the neighbor who called us. We went out with a flashlight, found the nest and the bunnies towards the front of the nest had froze to death keeping their siblings warm.
No sign of the mommy.
So we hand raised 6 baby bunnies. Lots of formula with eye droppers and sleepless nights. When they were big enough to eat dandylion greens, we let them go.
