This is a great reminder from our friends at Chippewa Valley Wildlife Rehabilitation! We often get calls regarding bunny nests this time of year. One very important thing that CVWR wants to remind everyone:

"If you have dogs and they found the nest, please protect the nest from them until the babies are gone...It only takes three weeks for rabbits to be old enough to leave the nest which goes by very quickly. If you can't walk your dogs on a leash during that time, putting down a laundry basket that has a big enough hole for the mom to get in but not your dog will work to protect the nest."

They also want to remind everyone that baby bunnies are basically scentless, so moving the nest even a few feet is not advised as mom cannot find them. If the nest does get disturbed, it's OK for you to move them back to their nest and cover them back up - mama will still come around even if there is human scent!

Our Animal Caregivers do SO much for our animals at ECCHA, it's hard to encompass everything they do with a simple action figure. Along with providing tender care to each and very pet, they also:

💚 Clean, clean, clean!
💚 Assist in surrender appointments, often comforting the humans as well as the pets
💚 Monitor the health and well being of all animals
💚 Give vaccines, medications, and fluids when needed
💚 Drink copious amount of caffeine
💚 Treat each pet as if they were their own

Help us give a huge "Thank You!" today and everyday for our caregivers at ECCHA!
