Baby creature with fur and ears in our tulip/rose garden under some mulch!?

Anyone know what it could be? It looks like it may be a baby bunny or squirrel?? It is alive and actually looked like it may be in the moma's pouch but not sure did not want to disturb it too much.





Any ideas what we should do?

Sounds like a bunny to me.

Reply:I'm guessing bunny, I would leave it alone if you touch it there's a good chance the mother will either kill it or ignore it when she gets back if she smells you on her baby. If it is a bunny there are probably more than just one so I would be careful when doing anything in the area that you see it in. I right now have a mommy fox in my empty barn and 3 little babies. I love to sit on my porch and watch them play in the field in front of my house, spring is such a wonderful time...
Reply:Rabbits and squirrels are not marsupials so if it is in the mom's pouch it would have to be a kangaroo or wallabee, maybe an opossum. Where are you, Waku? That might give us a clue.

P.S. Any mother, especially one that's lactating will get vicious if you attempt to get at her baby. Leave it alone, if you can.
Reply:Great description, fur and ears--maybe it's a runt dog, or a rat, or a skunk, or a furbie. I would love to ID your critter but unable with the info provided --sorry.
Reply:It could be a bunny. I'd say leave it alone and once it's grown enough it will venture out, but it may think your garden is home.
Reply:If it is in a pouch, it can't be a rabbit, they don't have pouches
