My neighbor has a bunny problem.

[Meerkatfan455]

See let me make this quick:
One day I was just walking my dog and I was finished so I came inside the yard. Then my dog started barking. I looked to see what he was barking at and I saw it was a young female rabbit. She was pregnant and huge. I was ignoring the rabbit until three days ago. It choose my neighbor's yard as a place to give birth! She had a small burrow and 9 youngsters. Two have died and my neighbor and I need help! Help me!

depends is this a wild or a thame animal

if the later then a shelter should be able to advice you or help you out

if the former then call some local wildlife senter or assosiation, and by all means if the case is its a wild animal unless there is signs of them being in agony due to disease like rabis (dog madness?) or such do not intervene without having talken to someone who got wildlife knowledge and authorisation in the area

while i realise its sad that 3 rabbit young ones is dead this may be perfectly normal due to the big litter if this is wild rabits, and interviening may make the situation worse, it can scare the mother and risk driving her away, such decreasing the chanse of survival among the rest of the litter.

What's so sad is that I can't find the mother and yesterday my dog and my neighbor's dogs chased her off and I can't see her or the babies. The problem maybe gone.

If they're wild rabbits, the best thing you can do is let them be and leave them alone. Rabbits have very large underground burrows, and the mother likely picked up her babies and moved them if they are no longer visible. It's natures way, and though it's sad, there just isn't room for every single thing born to survive.

Only one survived and the dogs killed all of the babies and the mother!!!!!

My dog caught the mom and killed her before I could do anything. The babies sufured because one got killed by my neighbor, one by no reasone and the rest (exept one) died from my neighbors' dogs. So now they are all gone exept for one.

That is horrible.
So sad

Why were the dogs given easy eaccess to the baby rabbits?
They should have been at least kept away from where people knew there were newborn animals.

Oh my god, I am so sorry that my comment came across that way!
What my comment was meant to say was that it's just sad how there are pregnant (and not pregnant) rabbits running around, at the mercy of any predatory animal. It breaks my heart to know that there are animals being killed every day.
Even if they are meant to be wild, it still upsets me to know how little the number of surviving baby animals is.
It could obviously have not been prevented, and I am sorry for the newborn bunnies and the mother who are no longer with us.
I never meant for the blame to be put on you.

its the way of the nature, and if all survived they would be meeting a worse death when they overgrazed their feeding ground, its called balance |s| and nature need it, without this balance of life there wouldnt be life, each spicies depend upon eachother

there are born more plant eating beeings then there are predators, so that some of them can survive and the rest feed the predators, and we got predators to make sure that the sick and weak individuals dont survive so that the healthy animals stand a better chanse of surviving due to having enough plant food avaliable

its a tender balance where we all depend upon eachother, its nature, and nature is lovely in its wholeness

so instead of focusing on the individual, try to look on the big picture, instead of being sad for one death, be happy for the miracle of life unto itself as it circles and each death gives new life and such has a bigger purpose

[Des_and_Tay]

Yea, I know.
Just hard for me.
I love animals too much for my own (and their own) good sometimes :/
