Two Leverets

Last week week we released a hare back into the wild which we had hand reared, by the time we returned home, there was a message about two more orphaned leverets, the mum was found dead. We are now hand rearing these two cheeky monkeys.

Unlike rabbits, leverets are born with fur and live in undergrowth, not underground. In this case the babies needed to be rescued as the mother was confirmed killed, if you find baby leverets on thier own, leave, often the mother is nearby and feeding and won’t return until she feels safe.
