Once we get at least two nice forecast days .... bunnies will be released to the wild ...... hopefully away from stray cats.My baby bunnies as pets?  No!  That is not what they want although they would be safe.  Bunnies need to be in the wild and try to do what Nature intended. Make more bunnies!  They do love their vanilla wafers too!</blockquote>
