Joshua Bisnar, a Naval Hospital Corpsman, found the helpless bunnies alongside their dead mother while he was raking the volleyball court at Camp Pendleton, in San Diego, California, where he was stationed with a Marine Corps unit.
Combat medic Joshua Bisnar found four helpless baby rabbits alongside their dead mother while he was raking the volleyball court at Camp Pendleton, California
Clearly a fan of guitar players, the U.S. Marine named them James (after Jimi Hendrix), Steven, Raymond and Vaughan (after Stevie Ray Vaughan)
To feed them, he researched a formula mixed with probiotic he found at Petco pet store and purchased four small droppers to administer the formula into the hungry mouths three times a day.
‘I was so scared to go to work or leave them alone, I should have given them to a wildlife sanctuary but I was scared that the car ride would be too traumatic but It was amazing how fast they grew up.
‘They got out of that ugly newborn phase and started looking like fluffy little bunnies after one week.
Mr Bisnar scooped up the animals and carefully placed them in a makeshift home – consisting of a box with a few old shirts to make it more comfortable
‘I grew up around animals, my mother is a dog groomer and has always taught me to look after and care for the little guys,’ said Mr Bisnar
