Rabbits and 'roos at our house-sit

There are five baby rabbits at our house-sit but it’s hard to get a photo of them all at once. There is one daisy bush they enjoy nibbling on. They mostly stand up to reach the bit they want but this morning one of them jumped into the middle of the bush.
This morning for the first time we saw ten or a dozen roos down on the flat below the dam. And Vince says I’ve been spelling the duck’s name wrongly. It should be Qwacka so Qwacka it shall be from now on. I hope you enjoy the photos. If you can’t find the rabbits, look for little grey smudges.

@JudyEv The finches you showed before looked more like parrots, at least some of them did.

The duck name is quite a tongue twister.
My kids would have enjoyed seeing so many rabbits and Kangaroos at one place!
It would be perhaps exciting to keep a watch on their movements.
Have a nice Monday!

May be they are plain ignorant but could be their characteristics as well !

Yes that could be a possibility.
But something a Zoology expert could perhaps tell in a better way.

The wall is made of huge limstone blocks. The rabbits think it's been put there just for them.

I can spot the baby rabbits just fine. They're always so cute at that stage! Very good photos! And the 'roos look good, too.
Are you enjoying seeing the wildlife at this housesit?

I found the bunnies. They sound like lots of fun to watch.
I missed hearing about roos after you moved. Glad you are seeing some there.

These roos seem sh*t scared of us. As soon as we poke our noses out the door, they are off! Although not these ones on the other side of the dam.
But the little rabbits haven't learnt too many survival skills yet. You can get quite close to them.

We used to have a lot of rabbits but I don't know if it is an increase in people or cats that is causing them to disappear. I love the photos of the roos, that would be cool to see them in the wild.

@JudyEv Now the pests we deal with are squirrels and racoons. I have read online from neighbors who have racoons in their attic and they had to call a professional to get rid of them.

@Carmelanirel2 In Australia, possums sometimes get into the ceiling spaces and can be hard to get rid of.

Nature in its full beauty. I love naturally growing plants and animals and birds roaming around.

@JudyEv Yes, that's true. We also feel closer to the animal kingdom.

Do you give it some vegetable matter from time to time? Lettuce leaves perhaps?
