  1. You need training from a certified wildlife rehabilitator.  Rearing wild animals is not a good idea unless you've been properly trained to do so.  There's a lot of things you might not know that you have to do and the animal can suffer, or die, if not properly taken care of.

    Gross, but here's a for instance...

    Baby raccoons are encouraged to expel their p**p by their mothers - when their mothers l**k their bottom.  Wildlife rehabilitators know this, and actually have to mimic this procedure by wiping a raccoon baby's bottom with a warm rag.  Without this, the baby's digestive system "backs up" and he eventually dies.

    Keeping this baby could do more harm to it than good.  It may also be illegal in your area.  Wildlife rehabilitators rear baby animals in a manner as to restore them to the wild as healthy, thriving individuals, not pets.  You need to get this little fellow to someone who knows exactly how to care for it.  


  2. send it back to the wild....if it's really little and you're saving it bring it to an animal hospital or try a bottle...

  3. you need to go to the vet or local pet store and get baby bunny formula... you can't give it cow milk...

    cow milk will make it sick...

    and just keep it warm and don't leave it unattended in a box... i can break it's neck trying to jump out...

    that happened to me before... a wild cat attack a bunny den and 8 baby bunnies took off in every direction...the cat got one and i chased the cat down and pride its mouth opened to got the bunny out...

    the bunny had some bite marks but was OK i fed it some bunny formula and took care of it's wounds but it tried to jump out of the box and it fell and broke it's neck. (i cried)


  4. Kitten milk

    Rabbit Mix (later on)

    Water (later on)

    Hutch

    Hay

    Bedding

    Toy

  5. I know you can get bottles and formula at places like Pet Smart, but I would look for a rescue organization who has experience with wild animals to take it.  No offense, but it will probably have a better chance at living with someone who has done it before.

  6. ok well i have tried to do this before and sadly the bunny did'nt live. Try getting some rabbit milk replkacer. hope this website helps.
