look at the fingers, at best that's the size of your palm and they are pushing the grass back so you can see. Baby rabbits ARE really hard to spot.
I've seen a slight drizzle drown an entire burrow in my yard that I had no clue was there.
I love bunnies- so cute. But I don’t farm or garden much either, and don’t own many acres of land. I live in a sprawling urban black top that I have to imagine quite a few adorable critters used to call home before someone paved it. The truth is we can’t communicate very well with critters- asking fleas to stay off your dog so they don’t die, or gophers to go somewhere else doesn’t work too well. There’s a reason your living room isn’t a thriving ecosystem with cuddly fluffs and fangy predators and nasty parasites. Nature don’t do too well if it gets too close not on our terms.
There are many reasons burning grass is risky and potentially harmful. In the best case you just don’t do it. Second best you do it real careful and meticulous. End of the day though- I can’t really tell someone living somewhere they might feel a prudent need to burn grass that they can’t because of the bunnies- the 8 lanes of freeway I take to work every day isn’t too bunny friendly either- so that’s a tad too hypocritical for me. Be careful, don’t needlessly and knowingly do harm, but sometimes we kill things. Plants, animals, insects- life is life. Everything kills, everything dies. Try to be kind to the bunnies- but I’m not gonna say you can’t burn grass for their sake, if there were enough bunnies they’d starve us out and not think twice about it. That’s just life.
