Has anyone down south seen any baby wild rabbits yet? Too early in Ky I think, especially with the cold.

There are baby rabbits about 1/4 grown behind my barn here in Indiana. They are driving the dog in the kennel nuts.

Maybe she will, maybe she won't. Maybe I'll give her some drugs and sneak off and come back before she knows I left!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don,

I am located close to Terre Haute. Some of the tracks in the snow could be covered with a quarter. I tracked that little rabbit from the barn to under the front porch. He couldn't have been more than 4 or 5 inches long.

Hey David Ramey maybe I can take a pitcher of a baby rabbit or just a

Same news here in Virginia. We've had some very warm days recently (60-70), and I'm out every morning. I haven't seen a baby rabbit yet. Can't be much longer. Speaking of baby cottontails, has anyone ever been able to catch them and raise them in hutches? I am hoping that I can somewhat dometicate a pair and then use their offspring to train my pups on. Sounds feasible, doesn't it?

The baby rabbit that is living under the front porch is getting big enough that he is chewing a larger hole in the plastic lattice. Boy, did I get in trouble with the boss. I said there was no use to put up new lattice until the rabbit was gone. Hope that works.

I live in Ky and found a baby rabbit on my porch the other day. Guess the 'ol ladies cat needs to "wander off somewhere". lol.

It would fit in my hand.....the baby rabbit I mean.
