((she brought it back about 1pm)) well it was still alive at night so i put some grass in the box and a small bowl with water in.. as it has teeth and about 5inches big with adult fur so i presumed it was off milk.. well its still alive.. the waters gonedown slightly but some of the shavings are wet so i dont know if thats the water of wee.. lol.. but no grass has gone.. so worst is.. its not ate or drank so maybe its still on milk? now i dont know what to do with it.. id prefer to release it however im surrounded by fields and lakes so no idea where she got it from.. so if it needs mummy to live.. i have no idea where to put it.. or if i should try make it drink etc.. when i look at it its usually hiding in a corner of box.. not suprising i know.. but it does move to different places.. sorry about the essay.. just wanted to mention everything.. any advise is welcome.. thanks  |
hi saw your message how old do think the rabbit is? what i would do is see if there is an animal sanctuary near you they will know what to do,i used to keep rabbits but not wild ones they like domestic rabbits like hay,carrots my rabbits used to love spinage do not give lettuce to if you think its very young you could get milk from good pet suppliers but i would take to animal sanctuary he could be stressed after the cat got it as animals get stressed very easily. and they can die ,but domestic rabbits are normaly taken from the mother at about 6-8weeks so it could survive if you dont have a animal sanc,near you see if he starts to eat keep him for a while and if you think he is old enough you could let him go,as if he old enough he should survive jeanne
