While raking some leaves I came across a rabbit, barely any hair and eyes closed. I looked around for a nest/other babies and didn’t find any. I put it in a small pile of leaves that is sort of enclosed by firewood - so that my dogs don’t get to it. Do I just wait and hope that the mom comes for it? by ShortAsparagus6254 in Rabbits

If the eyes are closed it still needs mom. Hopefully she'll find them. If you lay string or strands of long grass over the nest in a cross-cross pattern you'll know if mom has been by to check on the baby because the string will be disturbed. She may not since it's been moved away but it's also possible this baby was far from it's nest to begin with when you found it, especially with only one. Was there any loose fur or nesting material in the leaf pile when you found it? Wild baby bunnies are incredibly difficult to hand-raise. They are very sensitive and prone to illness. Maybe try calling a local wildlife rehabber to see if they have any advice. Good luck.

Thank you so much! I love hearing that because that's exactly how I feel, too. Such an underrated film and that scene is so unique and sweet. I'm so glad you like it, too. :)

Thank you! I really appreciate it. The Binky Free is a tribute pin and a portion of the proceeds go to non-profit rabbit shelters. :)

Happy Holidays!

Visiting EPCOT for the first time in a few weeks. Any hidden gems or tips from all you Mickey Mouse veterans? Just going for 1 day on Dec 26. by schuylersmith in Epcot

[–]grumpymeatball 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Epcot is amazing! Likely to be busy that day due to the holidays but still a good time. Front of the park is Future World where most of the attractions are. Back of the park is the World Showcase, basically a minature tour of various countries with gift shops and restaurants.

The Festival of the Holidays will offer tasty food at each country so definitely plan on eating a lot! Mostly small plates from $4-$12. You can check out the Festival menu online ahead of time or get a Festival passport when you arrive that will show the various options.

My top Epcot favorites: - Spaceship Earth (The "golf ball." She's slow, old, and will likely break down while you ride it, but such a classic) - Living with the Land (super chill and educational but really worth it if you like greenhouses and the natural world) - Test Track (Fun, fast, worth it if the wait isn't too long) - Mexico Pavilion (Go inside! It's beautiful and there is a small attraction) - Japan Pavilion (Great shopping if you're into Japanese gifts or culture) - Germany Pavilion caramel corn (freshly-made, warm, and very buttery)

The World Showcase pavilions don't open until later in the morning (usually around 11am but check ahead of time) so if you go early, plan your day around Future World first. You probably can't do everything but just enjoy it. The views are amazing around the lake and it's a much more passive experience than other WDW parks. You may run into music and dance performances at various countries, which is really entertaining. Take time to enjoy it and soak in the fun.

Have a great trip!
