Found a newborn rabbit outside I was walking the dogs and stumbled across what I thought was a mouse. Another guy was outside and I asked him about it, he thinks its a baby rabbit. It looks exactly like these http://www.torontowildlifecentre.com...abbit2_twc.jpg I don't know what to do!!! It was just flopping around helplessly. I want to bring it in, but I don't know if that would make it better, or worse. I also don't know if its sick or carrying anything. My bf and I really don't want to leave it out there, what do we do?!?! :(:(:(:( Suggestions, please?!? |
Oh gosh, poor thing! I don't know anything about rabbits... From what I read though, you should put it back because it won't survive in your care. Maybe the mom went to go find food? I don't know... FAQ: Orphaned Baby Bunnies |

if it has been out there all day the mom probably isn't coming back. if you did decide to bring it in get a shoebox put a fleece blankie on the bottom and fill it with it with finely shredded paper. He needs to kept warm. do not put any heat lamps or anything like that , it would kill him.. get some kitten formula and a bottle or eyedropper and feed him every couple hours like you would a kitten. |
update? |
Awww, how sad, I used to have two rabbits Buddy and Thumper, but never saw them that little. If you leave it out it will prolly get eaten:eek: |
I called wildlife rescue and they gave me numbers of 2 local places that can help. Both places were closed and it went to voicemail. I left my name and number. I feel so helpless. It was just curled up :(. At first I didn't think the poor thing was alive, but then I saw the chest go up and down. |

if the wildlife is going to take it , can you bring inside for the night ? it will surely die if left out in the open like that. |
I could go on and on with the strange things that have happened with me and wildlife because our property bordered on a Nature Preserve. I would take it in and try your best to feed and take care of it until you can get ahold of someone. All you can do is try, it may not survive but atleast you tried and you will feel better knowing you did. Did you call your local SPCA? They may know more info. |
hi , i found this article on caring for orphaned rabbits. unlike what i told you above , this says they should only be fed twice per day. if gives amount and what you should feed.. Caring for Orphans |
Poor thing, I would drop it off @ the nearest vet...did that for a pigeon that had a broken wing. |
We live in the country. I can't tell you how many times things like this happen. :(. I tried to save a baby bird one time. He didn\'t make it. :(. I would take it in and try until I could get help. If you leave it outside alone it won\'t make it for sure. |
I would call a vet and ask if there are wildlife people around who might take it in. |
Do you have a game and fish commission? |
Is it in its nest? Seems like the mom bunny only comes around at night. I wouldn\'t disturb it. Let nature take its course. Unless its injured leave it be. What if the mom comes back at night and baby is not there? |
