Should i let my rabbit back into the wild?

i rescued it from the wild as it was injured when born. the rabbit is now 10 or 11 wks and well again. should i try and keep it as a pet or let it back in the wild?Should i let my rabbit back into the wild?
Being that you have had it since birth it wouldn't be a good idea. It has learned to depend on people for food and shelter. It would have no clue how to survive in the wild and most likely wouldn't even know how do deal with predators. I say keep it as a pet. One question though..... have you had a vet look at it? If not, I would, just to make sure it's healthy. Good luck!Should i let my rabbit back into the wild?
I agree with Krustie Mac...
NO, try and find a wildlife rehabilitation center in your area and explain what happened. They will more then likely take in the rabbit. When they take the rabbit in they can get it ';deprogrammed'; from relying on people and be more self reliant. Once they believe the rabbit is ready to be released, they will do it in a safe place, when they think the time is right.
If you intend to return it to the wild, there are a few questions to be asked.





Is it acclimated to people, cats or dogs? If it is not afraid of any of these things it won't run from them and will be slaughtered. You will have to make it afraid of these dangerous predators.





Does it know what it's natural foods are and where to find them? You need to teach them this. Their mother would do it in the wild as this is not completely instinctive. Place a bottomless pen over plants they would naturally eat and put the rabbit in there. Teach it which plants are good for them. You may need to research their natural diets to do this properly.





If you do release it, don't just toss it in a field. Help it dig a small den for it to hide in. The opening should be no bigger than the rabbit, but it also needs to be deep enough (and windy enough) for the rabbit to run through and not be easily dug up.





The best reccomendation is to call a wildlife rescue. They often have experience rehabbing these animals for a successful return to the wild.
It is unlikely to survive as it has not learned the ways of the wild.
Since it was injured when born, keep it.





It will never survive in the wild. It has probably been abandoned by the warren. Rabbits in the wild are socially and not solitary. They live in large groups with a hierarchy in place. This rabbit would not be part of it, and since it smells like humans, it would probably be attacked and killed if it found a colony.
No, it has no chance of survival in the wild.





Wild animals don't typically do well in captivity, but if you have had it since birth and it has survived this long, you might be able to keep it as a pet.





Your best bet, though, would be to locate the nearest wildlife rehabilitation centre and ask them what to do. They might ask that you bring the animal to them, in which case you should. They are better equipped to care for wild animals, and in some jurisdictions it is illegal to keep a wild animal as a pet.





If for whatever reason they think you should keep it, then they might be able to offer you tons of useful advice.





Good luck!
NO! Do NOT let him/her back into the wild. He/she would not have learned to defend him/herself against predators and will die. Keep him as a pet.
