    Wow, that sounds intense and also really cool. Thank you so much for sharing! So what do the baby bunnies do in the wild to relieve themselves if they can’t do it without stimulation? I’m guessing mom helps?

      Yup, momma has to stimulate them. You can really feel how swole they are, but they’re stuck like that. We tickle them with a tissue to get them going and you can feel their belly muscles start squeezing so they can relieve themselves. It looks like a ton for how tiny they are!

      Once they’re a bit bigger, they figure it out and can go when they want to, but when they’re tiny, its super important we help them out when momma isn’t in the picture.
