What do Hares eat?
north american “Rabbits” are all actually Hare, even our common Cotton Tail and Snowshoe. they live in nests in thickets and wood piles occassionally they will move into an abbandoned burro but never dig their own. They eat sweet grasses, such as Thimothy. alfalfa, clover,and garden greens, only in the winter when food is scarce they will eat bark from sapplings and cedar. They are preyed upon by every animal that eats meat, from housecat to bears, raptors and man, even squirrels will raid a hares nest to eat the young. The size of their litters vary effected buy local hare population and present availablity to food.
