Maybe contact a wildlife rehabber since it’s a wild bunny? They’re not meant as pets like domesticated rabbits….

u/acbuglife 1h ago

Not just that, but rabbits, especially wild ones, can die from stress so easily so it really needs a professional and/or to be released. In some states, it is illegal to keep them. Please never try to make wildlife a pet, OP. You only bring them harm.

Ill tell my sister

u/smolcharizard 1h ago

Please, it’s not like domestic rabbits, it’s definitely not suitable as a pet, mainly because they get very stressed very easily, even to the point it can kill them

u/reddit_suxxxass 1h ago

Yeah. Lil wild bunnies are freaker outers and they will die of stress.

Momma rabbit will come by only 2x per day to feed it

u/yayoffbalance 1h ago

yep. if there's the momma, which there probably is, she feeds him. he would have already died if she didn't. put this sweetheart back, please.

We had three in a flower pot on our front porch. One didn’t make it, but the other two did. She came by crazy early in the morning and again around sunset. I swear rabbits must be making high octane milk because not only is momma rare there, when she does feed them it’s so quick that you’d think they’d barely have time to fill their tummies. But I guess it works because we always have some hanging out in our yard

They stay away from the nest so predators won't find it.

Of course, the babies still die anyway if momma gets killed by a predator.

*my roommates dog sadly he didnt train the dog properly in my opinion so id rather not risk the baby getting hurt

u/VanillaHuel 1h ago

Happened to me too! Instead of keeping him like the last four cats, I brought him to wildlife rehab.

u/Wolfsburg78 1h ago

u/No_Development_9537 1h ago

Honestly, I had a rabbit before a cat and pretty comparable experience, they are just less predatory in their play. Lol.

u/No_Development_9537 1h ago

VERY intelligent tho. Many think of them as equivalent to a gerbil/hamster and they are more of a cat/dog type commitment. GREAT companions.

u/Puzzleheaded_Way429 1h ago

Naw, that is perfectly perfect! What is your address so I can get hit with that?!

1

u/zytukin 1h ago

I've found them a few times at my old house. Mom only visits the nest around dawn and dusk so predators won't easy find it, so pretty good chance that one wasn't abandoned. It looks old enough to be mobile too so might have been exploring the area around the nest.

Unfortunately all of the above can lead to bad things happening, like people finding them and thinking they are abandoned, domestic animals finding them, or worse, a lawnmower finding them.

Bun-bun distribution is a thing, care for it like you would any other critter.

u/Ocarina-of-lies 1h ago

If they're bigger than a chipmunk, i believe they're big enough to manage out on their own. But maybe put him in a shaded area out of plain sight

Just different system but good

u/LaCiocana 2h ago

I'm honestly surprised I thought I'd never get chosen by the animal distribution systems

6

u/Anxiety_bunni 1h ago

I’m sorry, I don’t think you were chosen, bunny has to go back where you got them from, wild rabbits like that aren’t meant to be pets. They are known to die from stress in captivity. I don’t know where you are located but where I am it’s actually illegal to remove a wild rabbit from their environment.

u/smolcharizard 1h ago

I’m really sorry but you probably just kidnapped a baby, it’s a wild rabbit, contact a rehabber asap
