and motherhood of nature makes me cry. every time when i think of that bunny mother rips off all her chest furs to make a warmer nest for her babies, i tear like....idk just can't stop.
Very nice! I've had the honor of having a rabbit nest in my back yard last spring (2013) and another one this past spring (2014). My film quality isn't as good as this video however I did capture some great moments in a recent video.
i can't believe you were able to record this! bunny mamas are very shy about feeding and when our bunny had kits she always waited until the lights were off to feed them.
Nature is amazing. They pluck out their hair to layer the nest to make it soft, and then they eat it to remove it. I guess they can't SPIT it out. lol Interesting stuff.
actually around 14 minutes in she DOES eat her own fur! She's eating the fur she used to create the nest...wow. I assume it's because the babies don't need it for protection anymore and she doesn't want predators to be able to smell it...I guess wild bunnies don't have as much of a problem with gastric stasis??
I wondered that ;It probably was a selfless act of motherly devotion;hence the blessing of so many babies... But I did think she must've been starving, I 've got so much Hay,cos I live with Bunny;I 've been wondering about dropping it in places where wild Bunnies go ??? Hate to think of the problems the wild Bunnies are facing....They used to Burrow;but men Where busy gassing them and trapping them with ferrets and dogs; that now they just make a little shallow;hollow,so they can run at the first sign of evil oppressors.Means they have to brave all the elements though....xxBless them...The3 man made diseases that circulate the globe killing any Bunny it contacts,doesn 't help either. Shocking difficulties they face...Hurts me to my core.
:) it's from the great love of mother nature. Mixing her own hair with grass can make the nest warmer so her babies have better environment to grow up until they can be independent.
@@NorthForkFishermansadly you guess it right. it's by a cat. I don't want to recall such sad memory. but, from the way the body parts were torn, it's more likely by cat than raccoon.
@@angusthegreat Can't be helped. For dogs, you can set things around the nest to make it more "bunny only access" but cats are tough to beat. I've had nests around my home get wiped out by ferals every so often.
Mother bunnies come to the nest for 5 minutes twice a day. Otherwise they stay away from their nests the rest of the day to avoid drawing the attention of any predators to the nest. If you find one DO NOT disturb or remove any of the babies unless that look sick or injured.
That's amazing, thanks for telling me. Is it true that the Mothers only feed their babies twice a day,, or is that at night too? Those babies are the just so beautiful,
@@talkingheads705 experienced wild bunny mothers reach out to their babies only in dawn and after dust. This bunny mother came at around 5pm. It's risky. If animals like racoons notice the nest, her babies can be in danger.
Ok at 14 min you saw her eating the furs but she isn't really eating them, she place them in her cheeks and go to another place to spit them out. Aka taking out the trash. My nursing rabbit did that that's how I know. On the side note my nursing rabbit doesn't have milk so lots babies died even though we tried feeding them.
The mother rabbit is not eating her fur; she is grooming herself. Many animals are self-groomers such as cats, guinea pigs, mice, rats, squirrels, bats..... You may have also witnessed her pulling fur from her chest to line the nest which acts as insulation for the kits helping them to maintain a constant body temperature. Domestic rabbits do the same thing while building nests before birth. Rabbits are fascinating creatures.
Mother rabbits use fur from their chest to line the nest they make for their babies so she is either pulling fur out for that or is just grooming. Rabbits like to be clean so they groom themselves A LOT like cats. I have 2 and they can spend several minutes just grooming themselves. That is why you never EVER put a pet rabbit in water. They never need to bathed and the water can kill them because they can get hypothermia, get sick, and die very quickly if they get wet.
Bunny Mums are so beautiful and up against a lot in 'the wild 'but they've been blessed with good sized litters ××× Why on Earth mankind doesn't help them with some safe places I just dont know ??? Instead there are 3 deadly Killer man -made diseases circulating the globe destroying every Bunny in thier path.Each disease is deadlier and more heartbreaking than the last,,and there is no stopping them...What 's thier problem with Bunnies ??? I Live with one;she's my total treasure ;she shares my home and is no problem at all ,Hay, water,Love,protection,That poor Mum is starving;having to eat great mouthfuls of Fur !!That could totally block her tummy !!but she's just so hungry ! Its hard to watch a nursing mum;without the hay she badly needs.XxxxxxxBless her,nourish her; and protest on thier behalf ××××××X
Five of the baby rabbits. Statistically, that means only one ever reached one year of age. 45% of baby rabbits never reach 1 month of age unless in an area devoid of predators and that's unusual since they are at the bottom of the food chain world wide.
yes she will. They only feed their babies once in 24 hours. Just leave them be and they will get feed. Stress her out by always leaving lights on and no place to hide her kits.....and yes she will abandon them./
Why the heck is she eating her own fur, wouldn't she get hairballs in her delicate little rabbit stomach? I hope she wasn't just THAT hungry after giving birth and feeding 8 kits.
she isnt eating it, she is pulling it out so she can have softer bedding. (I thought my rabbit was stressed, turns out she thought she was pregnant...poor girl.)
I don't think she is really "eating" her fur, just cleaning up after nursing the babies. When she digs the whole for the nest, that's when she uses her fur to line and cover it. This is a beautiful video.
I love rabbits, squirrels and bunnies so much!! so cute!
For some reason, this makes me cry😢 It's so beautiful and sweet.
i cry too. every time recalling the mother tearing off her chest fur to create a warmer nest for her babies... i just....
One of the most soothing video of rabbit mom feeding her babies, so clean and natural setting along with the wonderful music background.
How special this love that humans have such a hard time understanding from time to time.
Yes
I really really love bunnies, because they are cute and can take away my stress
Kurt Anareta Yes bunnies are cute, but they can be very aggressive, territorial.
Those wild bunnies are amazing. They have become our buddies during quarantine...
Thank you for sharing, so tender...........so sweet........love it.
Bunnys are the most beautyful and lovely and precious animals out there. Look at her cute little tongue @ 4:12 :D

Awesome rabbit!
Beautiful video, rabbits are adorable little animals :-)

I was hoping to witness this live with baby bunnies in my yard, so I'm glad I could see your video! Thanks!

MessengerOfTruth I think Mom eats the fur so predators dont find the bunnies

I am surprised to see she didn't spit the fur out...Ours chewed the fur and spit out back into the nest.
Repairs nest? She ate it! lol

Rabbit`s are Great :-)
MetalDeepthroat my dog loves them so does my cat.
beautiful rabbits!!
this is so cute ♥
and i'll never forget the next morning when i must save the only one left survived. Spent 6 hours with 'him'. and i named him Ryan
@@angusthegreat Doesn't look very "snakey" around there. So, most likely a cat or a crow got the rest?

that is sooo freakin cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Works for me. Thanks 👍🌹💞
This is such a beautiful video, her little ones are sweethearts! What is the fur the mum is eating? 🐇🐇💚💚🐇🐇💚💚
Sadly, it's her own fur. She mixed her fur with dry grass in order for her babies to stay warm in the nest.

To eat all of this fur isn't harmful for her? Does it causes GI stacis? Is the fur rich on nutrients or vitamins or minerals?
they do it to clean up the nest so predators to not find it.
thks, i'm surprised too when i watched the video and discover there were 5 babies instead of 4 from my live watching
Mother rabbits use fur from their chest to line the nest they make for their babies so she is either pulling fur out for that or is just grooming.

Nice and steady, did you use a tripod?
sooo cute :D

great shot. did you leave the cammera running near the nest?
She ate a lot of her own fur, isn't it bad for her? I mean a fur ball in her stomach does not harm her?
To eat that amount of fur isn't bad for her? I meant for her cecum even for her stomach?
WTF, she's eating her own fur from when the babies were born?
arrr.... she's just mixing her fur with dry grass to strengthen the nest so baby bunnies don't get cold
And have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth
:.) Thks. Genesis 1:28. Haven't read it for a long time.
My rabbit cookie dough, she won't feed babies
yes she will. They only feed their babies once in 24 hours. Just leave them be and they will get feed. Stress her out by always leaving lights on and no place to hide her kits.....and yes she will abandon them./

she isnt eating it, she is pulling it out so she can have softer bedding.
(I thought my rabbit was stressed, turns out she thought she was pregnant...poor girl.)
also, could be her trying to get some of her fiber back from the fur.
They do that to 'clear' hair away from the nipples and to use as bedding for the babies.
She is grooming herself
I don't think she is really "eating" her fur, just cleaning up after nursing the babies. When she digs the whole for the nest, that's when she uses her fur to line and cover it. This is a beautiful video.
She doesnt eat her fur...she pulls it out to line the nest with it
She is pulling it out of the ground and putting it in her mouth. I don't see the fur going anywhere but her stomach. I am confused...
Cute
There nice to eat that what I now
It would be good if stoat comes
No, it wouldn't...you are cruel.
That's a big rat, not rabbit. I know what rabbits looks like.
Would have caught them all and breed for meat reasons with others lol
