Thanks Penny its ummm geting there My indoor peppers n tomatoes are sill doing good. bout half the daylilies I wintersowed are doing good other halfdied or didnt sprout.. My praying mantis egg hatched early IN MY HOUSE! This year they hatched friday the 4th of may. sometome before I woke up to get ready to leave phor TN. I left the window cracked open. 10 days earlier this year. Usally they have always hatched around the 14th/15th of may. I have not been able to do anything with it raining every day. My grass is so high I gotta pop a wheelie on the mower n go over it twice I was about to start mowing again today when I seen a birds nest in the quincy bush. had to lighten the pic. its pretty dark in there When I looked down wondering were I could set a chair phor a better pic I seen these lil monsters They are all over the bush!! think were gonna have a bugger of a year

Christy that link is not working Is this the one you had?? Learn something new every day Rabbits hide their nests in plain view, often putting them in the open; for example, in the middle of the lawn, as well as in brush piles and long grass. If you find a nest that has been disturbed, do all you can to restore and protect it rather than bring the infants inside. If a dog has discovered the nest, keep your dog away from the area and reconstruct the nest with grasses. If need be, you can move the nest a few feet away where safer. Rabbit mothers nurse their babies for approximately 5 minutes a day. They will be in the nest or nest box early in the morning and then again in the evening. The milk is very rich and the babies "fill up" to capacity within minutes. Mother rabbits do not "sit" on the babies to keep them warm as do some mammals and birds. They build a nest with fur and grasses which helps to keep the babies warm in between feedings. Do not force a mother rabbit to sit in the nest box. You can pick up the babies and see if they are feeding by checking the size of their stomachs (should not be sunken in), the pinkness of their skin and activity level (they should not be blue in color or sluggish in movement) and the amount of time that you hear them crying (baby bunnies should be quiet most of the day....if they are crying constantly then they are not getting fed). If you come across a nest of bunnies in the wild and the mother is no where to be seen, please DO NOT disturb them...this is normal. By removing them from the nest you are greatly reducing their chances of survival. If your dog disturbs a nest or you find a wild bunny with its eyes open, please put him back if not injured. Mom will be coming back at night to call and feed him only once in the middle of the night. Do not take the bunny inside or feed him. That is the mom's job. IT IS A MATTER OF HIS/HER SURVIVAL AND UP TO US AS HUMANS TO LEAVE NATURE BE AND LET THE MOM CARE FOR HER YOUNG. We often hear of mothers moving their babies and their nests, and have seen moms come back every night for up to a week to look for her missing baby. Do not take the baby from the mom or she will be frantic.
