rabbits in the compost
I have found a litter of rabbits in the compost heap, I think this is rather
strange place to find them as it is rather exposed and they are quite easy to see, I always thought that rabbits would give birth in burrows, we have a fair number in the paddock and they all live in burrows. I did wonder if these could be hares but I cannot see them well enough to tell as yet, will have another look tomorrow if the fox hasn't had them over night. kate |

American rabbits often nest in sheltered depressions in the ground and in brushpiles. Both are pretty exposed; we used to have a cat who in the spring bunny season would go out in the morning and return in a few minutes with a teenage rabbit for breakfast.

In our large compost heap (blockwork walls, many tons of compost) a fox dug an earth for itself. Luckily when it hit the back wall it gave up and left us with a nice tunnel Al. |

I have just been out to look at the little rabbit family but they are nowhere to be seen, maybe some thing has eaten them or maybe the mother rabbit moved them, last night was very cold and wet they would have been lucky to survive maybe kate |
