"Wild rabbits should be released as soon as they are eating hay and greens and are approximately 5 inches in body length (cottontails) and run from you. They will be small, but the longer you keep them, the more agitated and difficult to handle they will become and the less likely their chances for survival in the wild. Release ONLY at dusk or dawn."

If you have not raised it properly, to be a wild rabbit, it will not survive. If you have kept it too long, you have greatly diminished its chances of survival. That is why only trained and licensed wildlife rehabilitaters should try to care for orphaned rabbits. Also, if you do not have the proper permits, keeping the rabbit, even for a short time, is illegal.

If it's a wild rabbit & you raise it from a baby & then try to release it, it will eventually die. It will have no fear of humans & won't know how to look after itself. Take it to an animal rescue centre.

They have very wild instincts. When it is the size of a large lemon, take it to a remote area and put it safely under a bush. They will do just fine.
