    It's difficult to raise a wild rabbit, and in some states, it's even illegal. Hopefully you can get him to a rescue.

    I have had success and failures in raising them. Several years ago I had a survival rate of 2 out of 3, and then last year lost both of the 2 that I rescued.

    They do well on milk substitute for puppies or kittens that you can get from a vet or Petsmart, and now even Walmart. You can also get tiny nursing bottles, but I found that an eyedropper worked even better. Those tiny teeth are sharp and will chew right thru the rubber nipple and they can choke on a piece if they chew it off.
