Youll never believe this question coming from me about wild rabbits2007-11-24 22:20:20

Well the answer differes slightly if its a hare or a rabbit, hares are born ready to go , were as rabbits need some care. at 8 in it should be abour 3 or 4 weeks old possibly 5 . timothy hay should be avalible at all times if you are planing on releasing it do not feed it pelleted rabbit food that will not teah it what to look for also handle it as little as possible, but be prepaped even still when your release it it will probley still hang around for food . feed wate rout of a dish not a water bottle they wont find that in the wild. remeber timothy hay all the time or any kind of grass hay like bermuda or oat. dandylions will help for calcium and probley will be a large part of its diet in the wild , rose petals, rosmary, lavander, clover, sour grass those are probley all things it will eat in the wild that i know arn't posionis to it . I used to raise rabbits all of this info is from first hand experiance make sure it its kept outside with a shelter from cold and heat because any pamering will hinder it later if its really windy throw canvas tarp over its cager make sure it cant get rained on that spells death also keep it out of direct sunlight or at least have a way to get out of it. email me if you have anymore questions. remeber less contact is better.

I know you don't want to hear it, but you really do need to call an animal rescue. They are trained to take care of the animal and have better equipment. You really can NOT do the same as they do, nothing beats experience and equipment. Unless you know of someone who has a nursing rabbit, it isn't likely that you'll save this one. Wild rabbits simply get so stressed when brought into captivity that they die. I have been working at a pet store for 5 years and have seen this happen a bunch of times. The only one person I knew who was able to raise a wild rabbit only got it to about 1 year old and it STILL died from the stress. I have even tried myself multiple times.
