Answers:

Oooh. Take it to a vet. Do you have a Double M Feed store around you? They take exoitc animals.

Try feeding it some milk like you buy for kittens and puppies.

My neighbor found some baby rabbits once and that's what he did.

Baby bunnies are very hard to keep alive. You may want to check with animal control to see if they have any tips. Don't let it break your heart if he dies, it's probably not your fault. If you have any other pets in the house make sure the bunnies sees a vet before they interact, since the bunny may have a disease. You may want to get him tested for parasites and rabies and such at the vet since he is a wild animal. Good luck!!

grouchy tell or suggest to mom r dad to call 911(fire or police dept if you can't find the reason for gas fumes,,,,,,they could make you and the bunny real sick

You should call the Humane Society and ask for any tips on how to care for a mother-less baby bunny, also, you should feed it milk out of a bottle, I would go to a feed store and buy the special milk they have there, and depending on how old it is, if it's old enough them give it lettuce to eat, but mostly milk..Good Luck! =) And please do something about that gas smell, it's not good for ANYONE or ANYTHING, be safe!

You really shouldn't take in a wild baby rabbit. Most of them are not abandoned. The mother nurses them in the early morning and leaves them alone all day. That is because the mother has a strong smell that might attract preditors. The babies don't have enough smell to be a danger. She stays away from them all day and returns at night to nurse again. This is the way they have survived for hundreds of years in the wild. The babies know to stay still and in one place. Even if a baby gets lost, the mother will find it. (It isn't true that if you touch a baby, the mother will abandon it... the mothers instinct to care for it's young is much stronger than any oder on the baby.) Put the baby back where you found it and the mother will come back as soon as it's dark (and safe). If the baby was abandoned, the mother may have known that the baby had something wrong with it and it wasn't fit enough to survive.
