OK SO WE HAVE GUYS THAT COME MOW OUR LAWN
and my window from the bedroom looks out on the backyard. it smol.
the guy is pushing his lawnmower and he stops and jams his fucking hand into gods green heckin earth
and...nothing. and i'm squinting because it looks suspicious as hell
for a second it looked like he was burying something and??? idk. i was curious.
i walk outside and find this little hole that his whole fist disappeared into
and it's filled with baby bunnies
now, when i say this guy jammed his hand in there, it was really just a deep hole. he did not punch the baby bunnies.
i ran inside to grab some gloves and pulled out the two on top. and they didn't have heartbeats
and that was really sad, and I was trying to figure out what I need to do
because i don't want to just leave the corpses there
they're baby bunnies and i am just...having some emotions because they're so small
there is movement from beneath the two that i moved
one of the babies is alive
VERY alive. I touched it and it was like "woAH BITCH"
didn't bite but I definitely screamed
the one that was alive was tucked in
and i don't know how deep the hole goes
i text bun to see if he's busy and he is-- he doesn't actually call me until about 10 minutes ago (I texted him about an hour and a half ago)
and I explained what happened, and what the internet recommended (which is to leave them alone) and he says "Oh, well, take care of the bodies."
me: ??????????????????????????
SEVERAL FACTORS THAT ARE QUESTIONABLE HERE BUT
idk. the one that was alive was hidden behind the bodies of the ones that weren't and
i asked him what he meant by 'take care of' and he said "just light them on fire?"
me: ???????????????????????????????????
Y'ALL HE WAS LIKE "JUST GET SOME WOOD"
i just. i was really upset about it and was like "I AM NOT DOING IT. I AM NOT GOING TO DO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING."
nd he was like "FINE THEY'LL JUST DECOMPOSE AND SMELL BAD"
YEETS BUN OUT A DAMN WINDOW
BUT....IS THAT GOING TO DISTURB THE NEST
that is what i'm concerned about. I don't know how many are in there and I'm not going to ruin the nest to find out.
well no I think you should bury them somewhere else if possible
yeah....yeah. i just need to find a good spot. maybe i'll take them to the trail not too far from the house.
idk. y'all, i'm a little mortified.
if they were alive I would leave them be, but since a few of them are dead I would suggest calling animal control
tell them you don't know how many more are down there and you don't want to disturb the nest to find out, they'll probably take care of it
ok i called animal control....which for some reason i didn't think of previously???? so TY KAIYA
she said to get rid of the dead ones and let the other ones have a chance
and i asked her what she thought and she said to just put them in a baggy and toss them in the garbage...... and i am just. head 2 desk
yeah it's a little cold but it's that or burying them elsewhere
ok. 8C well, I'm gonna do that.
it's okay Squish, you did what you could
there could have been any number of reasons why the kits died-- sometimes life just be like that :c
Aw, poor little guys, sorry you saw that. But hey, you're helping out the survivor, so there's that.
...also how did your husband immediately jump to "Viking funeral for bunnies" as the only alternative to just letting them rot openly?
Because that raises some questions about his train of thought.
sounds like he probably didn't think past "they'll start to smell"
update: there were 3 dead ones, and 2 that were alive.

i tried to fold over the hole with the grass that was there.
