They would survive but what you are proposing is illegal as they are not a british wild animal. If you are anywhere in the North west of England contact me and I will sort out to take all your young.
If you are not contact the local pet store and I am sure they will take them from you for nothing or they may even buy them.
Releasing them into the wild will fetch you a £5,000 fine from DEFRA.

The Canary Islands are known if you are the sunlight heart of Europe! See this sunshine with hotelbye . Canary Islands give you a moderate conditions and a variety of excellent normal attractions. Five of their seven islands have now been stated a Biosphere Reserve, and the archipelago has four national parks. The absolute most outstanding attractions in Canary Islands would be the beaches since they're just great for enjoyable in the sun or enjoying water activities such as for instance windsurfing and scuba diving. In Canary Islands you will also be impressing by the interior appeal like: hiking, period touring, climbing and actually caving. Some of the most magnificent attractions of Canary Islands are: the volcanic scenery of Lanzarote, the beaches of Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria using their mud dunes, or the natural forests of La Palma and La Gomera.

If they are not native to the wild in the UK you should NOT release them. There is a whole ecosystem you could be tampering with. Rabbits were not native to Australia but were released there, populated, and have become quite the pests.
Also, you have domesticated them. They most likely will NOT survive. Check with a local Veterinarian for info on wildlife shelters. These shelters try to help animals learn to be wild again in hopes of release to a suitable environment.
If you want pets you need to Spay or Neuter them. And also please leave the wildlife wild for their sake.

They live in the wild in the Canary Islands, but think it might get to cold in the UK for them, also could cause a prob with the native wildlife like Grey squirrels have. Go to local pet superstore and sell them, of sell them in Loot. I've seen them for sale in Loot before, could make some money!
