Try lettuce %26amp; water. Poor bunny wabbit...I saved a baby rabbit from my dog almost killing it, How do i take care of it??
So someone who gets 5 thumbs down, because the answer is wrong and will probably kill the rabbit, gets best answer because you like the way he spelled ';wabbit';?
Report Abuse
The bunny is probally in pain and you should either take it to a vet to be helped, but if you do not want that expense I would call your local Humane Society to pick up the Bunny and if it is unhelpable he will be humanely euthanized. It doesnt sound great but he is probally in pain.
Buy a cage %26amp; food from a pet store %26amp; water.Then take it to a vet.(a rabbit cage)
what ever you do, do not just feed it lettuce, lettuce n cabbage and most things like that give the rabbit gas which the rabbit cant get rid of and it can die.
grass it what it is used to eating, its a wild animal so dont start feeding it domesticated animal food,..if it does get better it should go back to the wild where it belongs...but if you insist on keeping the poor thing, make sure you never over feed it with cabbage, lettuce, cauliflour leaves or anything potato related. provide plenty of fresh water.
if it is wounded it will need help, not just food n water
i would recomend taking it to a vet . good luck
You need to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. You can find one here: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.鈥?/a>
These people have the specialized training to care for sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. They also have the required state and federal licenses that allow them to keep the wild animals until they are healthy enough to be returned to the wild.
If this rabbit has a broken leg, it needs medical attention that you are not qualified to give. Do not take it to a vet - vets are for pets and most do not have the expertise to care for wild animals. Most vets also do not have the proper licenses that would allow them to keep a recouperating wild animal, and would only have to turn it over to a licensed wildilfe rehabilitator anyway.
You need special licenses and permits to keep wild animals in the US.
if its leg is broke you really should take it to the vet. As for right now you can feed it lettuce... if you have your old hampsters water bottle, rabbits use the same thing to drink. You can go to a pet store and buy rabbit pellets is what you actually feed pet rabbits (if you plan on keeping it)...good luck!
water and lettuce.
take it to the vet
Plenty of water, if they do not have water they will not eat. No iceberg lettuce. Feed him dark green lettuce. Broccoli, parsley, dill, mustard/collard greens. They love kale. You can give him carrots and the tops of carrots (the tops are their favorite). Plenty of rabbit pellets (buy at Agway, Tractor Supply Store or any Feed Supply store), and Timothy Hay or Alfalfa Hay. Special treats you can give him but only about 1 - 2 oz. a day twice a week are a strawberry with the stem/leaves or a slice or two of a banana.
Do not use cedar shavings in his cage.
The best thing you can do is have him seen by a vet.
Good Luck.
Give it plain water in a shallow dish, and find a wildlife center near you. It's illegal to keep a wild rabbit in your home. It's also very difficult to care for a wild animal properly. Not to mention it could be carrying lice, fleas, or diseases. Please find someone who is qualified to take care of the animal ASAP. DO NOT give it food. You'll probably just make it sicker. AND NO LETTUCE!!! That will give it instant diarrhea and KILL it through dehydration! I don't know where it got started you can feed rabbits lettuce but it's a load of BS.
Take it to the vet or an animal rescue facility. Also, if it was running around alone than the mother must have decided it was old enough to be alone. I know it may look still very tiny to you- but that is usually their size when they first leave their mother. If the leg is not broken than let the rabbit go.
