That's a mouthful !!

I presume this is nest building but I would have thought they would used dry grass. Never seen it before.
Any ideas ?

No idea what is going on here JR unless of course it is a case of biting off more than he can chew. :biggrin: Great image JR by the way, still going through some old piccy's?

Yet another cracker, eye's bigger than his belly? Looks good enough to eat the grass that is.

Cracking picture. I would have thought they would use dry grass for nest building as well, perhaps there was none available nearby? Interesting behaviour whatever.

If you even have vegetarian food you would know it take ALOT of it to fill you up! :biggrin:

Well caught John.

Hi John

Often see them on the farm with fresh and dry grass. Fairly sure that it is bedding but I could be wrong :wink:

My vote is he eats it John and rightly so.............. I love a bit of stuffing in my rabbit! Nice image.

an interesting image John, I would assume it's for bedding as well.

not seen it before. But it makes him more camoflagued towards his head on a green background. But very nice capture.
