Well, you probably shouldn't do that, actually. The mother could be close by, so I would closely monitor the bunnies and check for a returning mother. If it doesn't come back for them then they were probably uprooted from their nest by a dog or something and abandoned. Look through your phonebook and find a number for a local Wildlife Refuge that can take them in, take care of them, and release them to the wild. Wild rabbits belong in the wild. If you want a pet rabbit, you could try looking in a pet store. They are usually around 30 dollars; give or take.

Instructions 1. * 1 Set a humane trap to capture the wild rabbit. These can be purchased at your local feed or pet supply store. Setting a trap can help ensure the rabbit's safety. * 2 Feed the wild rabbit. Older rabbits can eat grass and alfalfa. Young babies can be fed kitten replacement milk, but never give a rabbit cow's milk. Remember to provide plenty of water. * 3 House the wild rabbit in a rabbit cage, and be cautious when putting your arms and hands into the cage with the rabbit. Just because you have caught the wild rabbit doesn't mean that it's suddenly tame. * 4 Provide a suitable nest area in the cage for the wild rabbit consisting of a bed of leaves. Then place the cage under small shrubbery for security. * 5 Keep the rabbit cage clean by removing the waste and replacing any pellets or papers on a regular basis. Many rabbit cages have a grated bottom to allow rabbit waste to drop below so the rabbit is not stepping on it or sitting in it. * 6 Make numerous appearances in front of the wild rabbit. After showing him that you're not there to scare or injure him, he will eventually become tame and get used to you being around. In time you may be able place your hand near the cage and have the wild rabbit come to you for a brief petting session. Tips & Warnings * Keeping the rabbit cage clean will reduce germs and disease significantly. * Always use caution when approaching any wild animal. They can carry various diseases and can cause serious harm if you are attacked.

Listen carefully if the bunnies are real younge you need to be really carefull. Its really hard to care for such younge rabbits, they are so delicate and die easily. Do not handle them too much just to feed until they get big enough. They need to be warm but not hot or too cold. Feed them with an eye droper. or litlle puppy bottle. Get puppy formula or some other baby formula you can buy at the store if you cant get that get really rich milk or cream.
Good luck I hope you do fine with your little bunnies.

If they are wild just keep an eye on them if the mother rabbit returns leave them be their fine. But if the mother doesnt return they cannot survive on their own if they are too younge. Then it will be ok to care for them.

Answer 5

Your best bet is to go to pet smart or local pet store, they have tons of books on bunnies, you dont really have to even buy the book if your low on cash just skim it in the store, there are also lots of web sites about caring for rabbits, i have a dwarf bunny, i bought her at a pet store she was 3weeks old when i got her, she ate regular rabbit food, and drinks water out of a bowl, i bought her a large cage so she wasnt cramped, and i always make sure theres fresh clean bedding in it so shes comfortable, you have to let them out of the cage pretty regularly, so they get excercise, my friend bought one when i got Molly and hers already died she got a cold and caught pnemonia because my friend never let her out of the tiny cage.......... hope i helped i guess it kind of depends on how old the bunnies are, as well......you could also call a vets office for advice... they would probablly tell you over the phone

Answer 6

Are they brown ? if they are they are probably wild rabbits if there wild leave them alone but be careful if you hav a dog or cat if they look like they are pets you should put up posters or ask your nighbors if any1 has lost them in the meantime give them lots of fresh water and vegetables :D Hope this helps

Answer 7

I would first leave them in the yard to maintain themselves in their own environment and just leave out cheese, lettuce and that's it. They will remain with you as long as you feed them, but do not get involved with them like you would cats and dogs. Rodines, and animals of the wild are not as friendly and they do carry alot of cotanimations that your ammune system would have difficulty fighting. Don't bother making them your friend, just feed them and enjoy their visiting your yard. I have 3.5 acres of land, and a total of 3 white bunnies that visit us often and this is what I've done and they are never a problem, and I've lived at my residence for over 22 years. Good luck!

Answer 8

You need a rehab license to take care of wild animals.

Most baby bunnies are watched over by their mothers, who are out of sight so they don' tbring predators to the babies. You need to put them back where they were so the mother can do her job. She won't be put off by your scent on them, but if you keep the babies, they'll likely die since they need specialized care you can't offer.

Answer 9

I think the best thing to do is to call the vet and speak to someone there. The nurse at the vet where I take my cat always gives me great advise. The would definately know the correct answer. It really depends on how old the rabbits are to know what to feed them. If they were still drinking their mothers mild you may need to get the correct formula to feed them.

Answer 10

first off , thecreditsfilecoinc, rabbits are NOT rodents! Look it up, they are lagomorphs (rodents basicly have "hands" that can pick things up, etc...etc..).

Ok to the question. They are wild, leave them alone, how would you like it if you were little and someone plucked you from where you lived away from everything you know.

Wild rabbits can die just from a loud sound. If you are really worried about them take them to a rehabilitator
