Yeh, they are quite common....and I use to use the gumballs as practice golf balls, when I played golf....we don't have them down this way....but, grew up with them all around.....some novelty shops sell the gumballs as "porcupine eggs".....:lol:

Gumballs?? :hu
 
They produce spiny balls that carry the seed every year....it is along this period that they will begin to drop them and they can be very uncomfortable to walk on....lawnmowers will shoot them out the discharge opening....early summer they are green and heavy.....now, they will be brown and light....when ya see one ya will know "why" it is called a porcupine egg.....:)

Miss @AmberLops,

I love sweet gum trees (along with pine trees)! My Beautiful Gal and I would always plant a sweet gum tree on our anniversary at any new house we bought. I love the shape of the leaves and the color of the foliage. But their color here is quite muted this year, I suppose due to the drought we had starting in August. I hope they are more colorful at your place.

ETA: I'm sorry you had to get rid of so many of your rabbits. But I can understand why. Having to tend to 50+ rabbits when you come home doesn't leave much time for strolling in the woods!

Same here with the drought...and the gum trees don't have much color yet. Just a little bit of gold on some of the leaves. They're still nice though :)
Selling most of the rabbits is tough! I love them all but it has to be done.
I'm sure i'll end up starting all over and slowly collecting more by keeping one or 2 from every litter anyways :p
