  1. See if there is a wildlife rescue in your area.  Look in the phone book or call a vet--they should have the number their.  If there's not, call a pet store that sells rabbits and see if they can give you any advice.


  2. Sounds like you have starte out good with a cover.  Make sure that cover is something that the crows can not overturn and that the mother can still get to them and nurse.  Place food and water outside the cover so that you do not disturb the rabbits.  If they are sickly already...you may call your local animal rescue and ask them for help...they should be able to help.

  3. make a pen with tin on the sides and Fine wire mesh on the top

  4. I would call local animal rescue centers.

    You may find them on the web or from local vets.

    The cover is a good start, but they are still too vulnerable to other predators & elements.

    If their mother is still around, it sounds like even she won't be able to get to them.

    I would take them to a qualified rescue center.

    Wild rabbits are very high strung & nervous & are prone to heart attacks from fear.

  5. If the crows have pecked them already, they will most likely die. Crows often peck out animals' eyes first, and if their eyes are pecked out, they have no chance....obviously. Even if their eyes aren't pecked out, they will probably die from their wounds or infection.

    If you want to save them, I'd suggest you have a close look at them to check out their injuries. Leave any there that are uninjured, as long as the crows really can't get to them any more, and then either take the injured ones to the vet or just put them out of their misery yourselves. Not everyone has the heart to do that, but if you choose to do it, a  quick, hard blow to the forehead/top of head with a very sturdy piece of wood will kill them. If you don't want to do that, you could take them to a vet or wildlife rehabilitator.

    Hope that helps.

  6. Take them to vet and keep them
