Ruby nurses her new kits as newborns & then 2 weeks later...right after they meet Fennel! (part 5½)

recorded 8.1 to 8.14.2024. This is vertical footage I took for Shorts so some scenes will be familiar. Ruby is a mama again! This is her 4th litter and she built her nest in a meadow in front of the big blackberry bramble hedge. It's out in the open, but completely hidden! I only found it because she decided to nurse right in front of me! Video starts with Ruby hovering over the nest hole nursing. The kits are only a couple days old and are dark and furless. Once they're done nursing, Ruby starts grooming and then re-covers the nest. The whole nursing sequence lasted about 10 minutes (and I recorded it all!) and you can see more of it in the long form video:    • mama Ruby nurses her 4th litter of newly b...   Next, it's 10 days later and 1 of the tiny kits has popped out of the nest! 3 days after that, on the 14th, Ruby nurses all the babies outside of the nest in the blackberry brambles. It's dusk and she's in pretty far, for their protection, so I had to use a flash. After she's finished nursing, the kits stick around and cuteness ensues. (This footage takes place soon after the kits meet their cousin Fennel- an adorable moment not to be missed!:    • Ruby's kits meeting their cousin Fennel is...  ) Ruby is from mama Peanut's 4th litter born in June 2023. She made her home in what we refer to as the "wilds" part of our yard; it's the most forested and wild. Ruby stayed here all winter and was the first bunny to come out of hiding each day so I nicknamed her rise-and-shine Ruby. Once her mama Peanut became injured in April 2024, Ruby became queen of the yard. And she looks the part. She's very noble and regal. All the bunnies on this channel are eastern cottontails (Sylvilagus floridanus), the most common rabbit species in North America. #WildRabbit #bunny #WildBunny #cottontail #rabbit #nature #wildlife #peaceful #BabyBunny #BabyAnimal
