ATTRACTING RABBITS AND HARES

Hi Lindsay here. I had another request for Rabbits and Hares so I thought I would add this page. To attract rabbits you need Habitat Habitat and more Habitat.. Jack Rabbits need more of an open environment because they depend on their fast running to get away , some of these can run at 50 miles per hour. The cottontail Rabbit prefers a brushy area with much cover, woods , thickets and people's vegetable gardens.

Rabbits usually come out at dawn and dusk so look for them at this time

Jonas Brothers quick shot to fame in the field of music has even surprised the three musicians themselves. They have become Disney’s heart throbbing artists while just in their teens and are making wonders in the music industry. In 2006, Jonas Brothers performed on the road with all time favorites Jesse McCartney, the Veronicas. At the same time Disney put the band’s “Year 3000” video on air, which gave fame a little more way. Jonas Brothers music got more popularity when they started appearing in Radio Disney and “Meet the Robinsons” soundtrack where they performed a remake of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" as "Kids of the Future." Now the boys, along with their parents and younger brother, are on tour promoting their new, self-titled album.

Nature Eye Notes

To spot a rabbit you look for their eye!   This may sound crazy but their eyes are big and black and round. Their bodies are camouflaged, to blend in with the surroundings, so the eye is easier to see. Check in brushy areas with thick  undergrowth. Sometimes they sleep in high grass and you can find the hollowed out area where they slept. You can find these under bushes as well. Look for rabbit tracks and rabbit hair too. You can even look for nibbled twigs the rabbit has eaten

If you see a rabbit don't stop walking, as long as you keep walking the rabbit thinks you don't see him and he will remain frozen.   As soon as you stop, the rabbit will realize he's been spotted and run away.
