Where Do Baby Bunnies Come From? This is a SQUEEEEEE.

I'd always heard that if you touched a baby bunny, the mother would kill it because it smelled strange. I couldn't listen to the audio - was there some reason they dug up the nest besides just wanting to see them?

Yeah, this actually disturbs me a bit. I think they just signed those death warrants. :(

how the heck do they breathe in there?

It's an urban myth that human scent on a baby animal will cause the mother to reject it (they'll be okay 99% of the time), but they really shouldn't have disturbed them as the stress of being handled is not good.

So cute, though!
