General question to all pher that might have seen this...

Have any of you seen rabbit eat their dead young?

I had a rabbit that dug up my front yard and had some babies in it. So, last night, I went and killed them and left them in the hole. This morning I got ready to go to work and I saw a rabbit (might be the mama) on the same spot chewing on something and it wasn't grass - rabbit don't eat grass. I went over and shoo it off and saw that the babies were dug up and eaten. I saw half a body eaten. After I drove off, looked in the mirror and the rabbit came back to the same place and eating again.

I thought rabbits were vegetarians.

Reason I killed them is because I had another set of babies in my backyard two years ago and last year something killed a big rabbit and left a half eaten body in my backyard. Also, my front yard had holes dug up multiple times before and I thought it was the local squirrels digging up nuts. Now I know it's Bugs Bunny doing it.

That's gross!

There are a few rabbits that come to my backyard quite often. Two years ago, I saw one cut up a dandelion plant and eat it from tip to tip. I realized they help get rid of weedy vegetations in the garden.

At one point, I thought geese ate only corns and bugs. But lately I've seen them grazing grasses, too.

Animals are probably like humans: when  you are hungry, anything edible goes?

Maybe it is casting an omen on you and your family so better watch your back

It's just me in the house and I don't believe in omen or anything like that. I usually leave them alone but they've become a nuisance lately.

You have mole/shrew in your yard

Maybe you blame on the wrong critter. 

My friend has a house out in them sandy looking area.  He has chickens and he often find some of the young ones dead and half eaten too. 

Blame it on the rats.

I watched it ate it's babies... I was not scared of me at all.. just hopped a few feet when I get close, didn't bother to run away.

No mole or shrew at all... just squirrels and rabbits. I might need to set a trap and release them in the wood a mile away.
