I Thought I Saw A Wabbit !

It’s that time of year where most of our furry four legged animals are reproducing. From mice to raccoons, Delta seems to be bursting with new life. A client spotted a patch of brown grass on their lawn and after investigating the dry patch; it turned out to be a rabbit nest foraged underneath the lawn. Rabbit mating season usually runs from March through late September, so now’s the time when people stumble upon nests of baby bunnies. Most predators won’t venture into an open space, so it’s actually pretty ingenious for a rabbit to build a nest for her babies in the middle of a yard, so it’s relatively safe. There are several precautions homeowners can take if they discover bunnies sheltering below the ground, including leaving a large ring of uncut grass around the nest, and isolate the area to protect the nest from children and pets. Rabbits will generally depart their nest in less than a month, although dens could form throughout the summer.
