Hey, everyone. Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I know there are a lot of experts on various topics here and I could use some advice.
So I dug out the hrududil to mow the grass, and in the middle of the lawn I saw what looked like a bird's nest that had fallen out of a tree: A mass of long-bladed grass forming a vaguely circular shape. I went to pick it up and toss it in the yard waste bin, but in a shallow hole underneath I found three squirming fuzzy baby bunnies. They had fur but their little eyes weren't open yet. One of them managed to scramble out of the hole and out of instinct I scooped him up and put him back in.
I covered them up again and gave them a wide berth with the mower, but the damage is done. Now I'm concerned that the mother will sense I've disturbed the nest, and abandon them. I was wearing gloves but I'm sure they still smelled of human, with a possible trace odor of gasoline. I really don't want the babies to die because of me. Is there anything I can do for them?
Thanks...
