Spring is finally here! You may encounter cottontail bunnies in your yard and think they are abandoned because you haven't seen the mother around in days. Mother rabbits are very sneaky and visit their nests only twice daily for quick feeding sessions. Bringing a wild rabbit into your home greatly decreases its chances of survival even if you mean well and want to help - it's also illegal if you are not a licensed wildlife rehabber! Whenever possible, leave the bunnies in their nest. If you find one who is bleeding, has an obvious broken bone, or has maggots on it, please contact a local wildlife rehabber to help.
