My vegetable garden is usually a home to a bunny or two. My large old mint and daylily bed is a sheltered place for a rabbit hutch (or is it a den) and it is next to food. They do not bother the vegetables, they like eating the white clover that grows in our yard.
The photograph of the mother rabbit was taken from a window in our house. The mother rabbit visits just once a day to feed to bunnies. She toddled right into the mint bed and while I did not know if there was a bunny in there or not at the time, I suspected that there might be.
A few days later I found out for certain that a bunny was living in the mint bed. I was watering the garden because it is very dry this year and the water hitting the plants nearby scared it out of the mint bed.
Later, the bunny ended up back in the mint bed and it stayed there for several days. I do not know if it is still in my garden or not. I haven’t seen it in a week or more.

The mommy looks very much like the one we have in our yard and I have a picture of her running/jumping? in the boys scrapbooks!!! I dont\\\’ think ours has any babies though, at least I’ve not seen them.

Heather the same day I took this picture, I had to catch the baby rabbit to help it out of our home’s crawl-space well. It jumped into it and couldn’t get back out. The poor thing was very scared. I wore gloves.

How neat! We had a bunny last year that would come through and get into my strawberries. We put up a frame and netting and everything. It kept out the birds but that rabbit managed to get in several times at least. They sure are cute though. 🙂
