@holon42 antelope jackrabbit which is confusingly a hare

@NiveusLepus You know your long eared critters. @holon42

@poemblaze @holon42 I have a motivated interest 🐇😎

@NiveusLepus

gorgeous little one❤️

@holon42 @NiveusLepus

I didn't know that. Yukky bunnies! Maybe I'll start leaving some of these around for the poor things. 🥕🥕🥕 😉

@holon42 rabbits are not rodents but lagomorphs. You are correct in a survival situation they will eat carrion but this has been observed only when starving. The meat is so hard on the digestive system it can shorten life span.

@NiveusLepus @holon42 Tried getting gif of Monty Python and the Holy Grail killer rabbit scene. Wouldn't load. Just imagine it's here.

@poemblaze @NiveusLepus

i know. my thoughts immediately whenever i recall that fact. no video required 🤣🤣🤣

@NiveusLepus

yes, i know about the distinction. just seems to me that there must be some latent rodent energies awakened in dire situations.

didn't know it was so hard on them. it must get really desperate to go there in that case. poor bunnies.

there's always sunflower seed and peanuts in my garden for them, so no need to eat the dead🙏🏻

@holon42 I apologize if my tone was bad there. It was not intentional.

@NiveusLepus @holon42

How can we feed bunnies without squirrels getting to it first? I'm not against squirrels (just ask my friend Myrtle), but I would prefer if they shared nicely.

@LiseL @holon42 food competition is instinct deep in critters. I’d suggest leaving out things like Timothy hay bales. Squirrels won’t go for that as much as rabbits and deer will. Also setting out salt licks and squirrel feeders should reduce that drive.

@NiveusLepus @holon42

Thank you!!! This never occurred to me. If I can successfully feed the squirrels separately, maybe I have a chance at getting the birds and bunnies fed as well.

Looking up Timothy Hay Bales... 👍

@LiseL @holon42 Look up "Feed Supply" Stores in your area. They should have bales at great prices.

@NiveusLepus @holon42

I live in a rural area, so it should be easy peasy. 🐰

@NiveusLepus @LiseL @holon42

Cabbage ?

@LnzyHou Yes! I wonder about the below freezing temps, though. That's where the hay bales seem to make the most sense. @NiveusLepus @holon42

@NiveusLepus

no problem.✌🏽the information is good to know.
