I THINK I managed to save the life of one young rabbit. As I was walking I disturbed a weasel which darted out right under my feet.
When I looked down, I found a young rabbit. At this stage of their life rabbits are vulnerable to predators especially weasels, stoats, foxes and badgers.
I picked up the little rabbit to check that it had no injuries. It was scared but otherwise it seemed to be fine.
Within 10 minutes it had recovered and was eating. Thankfully the weasel had gone but survival for young rabbits is far from easy.
