The bunnies in the Edge waiting to be released
Feeding the older one- and yes, I have tears on my cheeks!
The middle one- the runt was too ready to go for a picture
Saturday morning, Luke and I got up around 6:30 and immediately went to release the bunnies. We took them to the designated place I had picked out. To say they were ready to go, was an understatement. The little runt barely ate. I tried feeding the other two before we released them- they ate just a little bit. Luke and I found an overturned log which would provide good shelter for them. We put them inside and left lots of grass and alfalfa inside the log. Then we turned around and went to the car. To say that was hard for me, would be an understatement. I bawled my eyes out. I could no longer protect them and they were on their own. I know I did my best, but I'll always wonder if I could have done more for them. Releasing something you've fed 3 times a day for 2 weeks is extremely hard. I just pray that they are safe and happy. Raising baby bunnies is not something I want to do again anytime soon. I still get teary eyed thinking about it!
