Uncovered a rabbit nest iin my half-barrel planter
wrote in message .com... [....] There are a couple ways to deal with baby vermin (yes, they do carry disease so handle carefully). Put them out in the open and let nature take its course. I prefer to drop them into a bucket of ice cold water. They sink and die quickly, the cold water numbs them. Reminds me of when my father uncovered a nest of baby mice after opening up an old stairway in the house. My mother has fond affection for mice, but unfortunately in this case it was the dead of winter, so they reluctantly agreed it would be more humane to drown them than to leave them to starvation & predation. Nobody ever thought about ice water, though; I'll have to keep that in mind, "in case". [...] The laws forbid "relocation" of wild animals like this in Wisconsin. Ingrid Uh, oh. Guess the rabbits are in for more trouble than I thought, since that's where I am. |
