yes. he is such a loving, sweet boy that he was trying to take care of a nest of baby rabbits. he was grooming them and keeping them warm. since the mother had probably been scared off by sam (he probably just found babies alone and wanted to help) they were taken to the local wildlife care center. they are very good.
Did anyone try to find her to reunite her with her babies?
while i have never raised rabbits, i have shared my life with several, and i agree. they are a cantankerous lot. can be nasty, even. doesn't stop me from loving them, but the truth is the truth. and i know they spend 12 or 14 hours away from the nest at a time....so....Rabbits are odd like that. They don’t seem to have a strong maternal bond like other animals. Of all animals I’ve ever worked with - rabbits seem the most prone to being aggravated, high strung or non-caring. They seem to easily kill/eat their young and think nothing of abandoning them. Maybe because the reproduce so rapidly. I’m not sure I just know that the cat had as little to do with the mother going away as the sun coming up. Especially if the guy was so ill as to represent no threat. People have a harder time reconciling a rabbit’s careless behavior than with other animals because I believe we have glorified the rabbit too much. It’s cute, fluffy, couldn’t hurt a fly Disney image is so far from the truth it makes me laugh to tears. Rabbits will be the first to bite, kick, scratch & kill if they feel like it but too much of an opposite pic for people to reconcile.
