Description
Baby Eastern Cottontail: This photograph of a baby eastern cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus) was taken in Pomfret Connecticut in June 2013. There were 5 more kits behind this one. This nest was concealed under some grass and weeds in a small hole lined with vegetation and fur. Young normally begin to venture off on short trips by 12 to 16 days and are completely independent by 4 to 5 weeks at which time they leave the nest. The mother will visit the nest several times during the day to nurse her babies.
