I was driving home in my car last night and as I turned the corner the head lights of my car lit up two animals sat in the middle of the road. One was a tiny baby
Rabbit and less than a foot away, towering over it was a huge owl just about to eat it for dinner. I know it is nature but I couldn't bear it and had to intervene. The owl could see the
Rabbit hole and was watching over it and so I couldn't bear to shoo the owl away and drive on. I have worked at Hydestile Wildlife sanctuary many years ago - lots of birds, foxes and deers etc but no baby
Rabbits! I have no idea how old this
Rabbit is and I don't know what to do with it now. It is currently in a
Rabbit hutch at the bottom of the garden so it can stay wild. It is very skittish and so I'm thinking it's propbably around 4 weeks maybe? I have put grass and clover and hay inside the hutch and have a small dish of water there too. I would hate to just release it somewhere new as it might not be able to take care of itself at the moment. Id feel happier if it was a little bigger / older. Any advice greatly appreciated.
