Answer 2

Where did you find it? To protect their young, mother rabbits in the wild will only visit the nest once a day... to us it seems they have been abandoned but they are safer this way as each visit to the nest by the mother may attract predators.

If you found the rabbit away from the nest, abandoned, your only option is to take it to an emergency clinic (open today) and call to make sure there is a veterinarian on staff who frequently deals with or specializes in rabbits. This little bun's survival depends on a veterinarian who can tell the rabbit's approx. age and therefore it's nutritional requirements and can give it round-the-clock expert care.

Hand raising a wild baby bunny is much more complex then a baby cat or dog, because of their unique digestive systems and special needs.

I wish you luck.

Answer 3

Return it to its mother if possible. Baby rabbit's are VERY difficult to hand-raise, not like cats and dogs.

Take it to a vet if you can't find it's mother. It needs proper milk replacement formula FAST if it is orphaned, and to be kept warm. It needs to be fed about every two hours, and have it's bottom wiped with warm wet cotton wool after each feed to make it poo and wee.

You should keep it warm and get some kitten milk and a tiny bottle from you local store.Feed it with the milk and things should improve.
