Hattie the Hare

At the end of February Scooby "found" a new born hare in the grass at the side of the lane.

We decided that as Scooby had free access to the "form" and as he had already licked the poor little mite clean of any of its mother's scent we would have to try and hand rear it. Luckily Lizzie was here and so with her advice we began to feed "Hattie" on kitten milk- not ideal but the best we had.

She went from strength to strength and we eventually released her at the end of April.

She hung around for a few days- we spotted her in the lane and in the field and she returned to the garden several times. We're hoping that she'll continue to make the odd appearance.

I've managed to add a couple of video clips.
