    Over the past several months, I've fallen deeply in love with the wild rabbits in my yard. I am now able to hand feed them, pet them, and lie down with them. I care for them very much. I found your video while looking for an answer to a question I have regarding these amazing creatures. I know it's not good to feed rabbits too many carrots. I have tried everything else I could think of, researching what other foods they like. Upon presenting other options to them, all I get are literally dirty looks. I am 100 percent convinced that rabbits (and all animals) do have emotions and thoughts. I've seen it without a doubt. When they say goodbye to me, I can see love in their eyes, and I know that they're saying "See you later, friend". How can I get my best little pals to eat other things? If you can find a list of what they like, believe me, I've tried it. Thanks for your time, nice video. I tried to join your discord, but the invite has expired.

    I just want to attract rabbits to come around in my yard, I live alone in the south, but I enjoy watching the rabbits hopping around and playing...

      Don’t weed your yard, mow your lawn at the highest setting, have bird feeders (they like the seed also), and have a water source like flowing water fountain (not a bird bath). They love dandelions so don’t “weed and feed” your yard.

    I put out seed for the birds, salt free sunflower seed and corn, and one Cottontail will come up and stand by my feet waiting for me to put some on the ground so it can nibble

    I have noticed eastern cottontails nibbling under my birdfeeder on the seeds that get scattered to the ground.

    My cats got a baby wild rabbit and messed it up pretty bad, so I’m just trying to get it better so I can let it go in a safe location.

    Sir: I'm concerned. I live in a very cold, snowy part of the country. For the past several months I've been leaving birdfeed and raw peanuts, both whole and shelled on my back railing for the birds and squirrels, three times a day, almost 3 1/2 lbs a day. (I also fill open tray hanging feeders.). The yard is a mess of squirrel pee, bird poop, bird seed, peanuts and peanut shells. I try to keep the railing and feeders free of poop, but hard to disinfect when the wind is howling and it's 10 deg F. I have an injured back and i have no way to clean the yard. I've seen a skunk, and a possum and a cottontail out there at night, under the feeders, and close to the deck. Are the animals going to get sick? I like my birds, squirrels, and bunny rabbits. What should I do?

    Been feeding my wild rabbits the Oxbow stacks, but they don't seem to like them much. Maybe as winter goes on, and food gets scarce, they will warm up to them.

    I have some Eastern Cottontail Rabbits in my front yard that live in a big bush tree there. I just want to give them some nutritional treats every now and then and see if I can bond with them. I want to pet them but not keep them. I already got a kitten and gsd to keep me busy.

    My front yard is quite popular with wild rabbits. Cute until they start digging tunnels.

    I live very close to the city, I have had and still have woodchucks, squirrels, racoons and a neighborhood skunk. For the first time in the 40 odd years I've lived here I now have rabbits. I think they are wild not escapes, and I'm woundering if I should feed the rabbits similar food I give the others. They are beautiful animals and look like they are adapting well to my and my neighbors yards. So far they seem to stay in our backyards which is relatively safe.

    We have just come across an injured wild baby rabbit. Its looks as it it has been attacked by a dog? The rabbit has lost the use of its back legs so we have taken it home and caring for it.
    How can we keep it hydrated?

    My Rabbits are American. Does that mean its okay for me to overfeed them and that I have to season their food so that it isn't bland?
