Aww. Good on you for helping!

Why would you release him into the wild if he's a domestic rabbit?

It's a wild bunny.

Congrats. Why wobnt you keep it? Is it a wild bunny? I have kept wild animals before and they arent too much worse than domesticated animals

Because like I said it's a wild bunny and just because you have dosen't mean it's ok. It's very wrong to keep them and they aren't happy. Domestic animals have evolved to suit our life style for the most part. Wild animals need to be in the wild it's not fair to keep them.

He's adorable!!

what a cutie!!......and so small what is he like 2 weeks??.......

one doubt here......... if he grows in a house environment he´ll learn domestic manners.... even if not intended..... how are you going to release him when you do?.... just like that and manage his own (I don´t think so but I wanted to ask anyway)

or are you going to handle his growing in a more "rustic" /"wild" way so he doesn´t gets used to people and handling and free food.........just curious as how to do

Are you sure he is wild? He could be domestic some domestic rabbits come in that color. I had some born in a litter that looked identical to that. Just a thought. He is cute! Good luck!

Awww how could you not get attached to that little guy, he's so so so cute! Buttercup...you are going to have a hard time not getting attached to him lol, good luck. I'm attached already lol.

Whatever your decision is, I think you will do the right thing for this cute little ball of life

[Hellow]

They still have all their wild instincts no matter how hard you tried to domesticate it. My old friend's god mom raised a couple of wild babies and she kept one of them and even though she handled it alot it still hated being touched. I don't take him out and play with him , I take him to feed him and make him pee and document his growth. I also am letting him out without me like touching him kind of like I'm ignoring him but still keeping a eye on him. He may be a little less scared of people but he still won't just go up to them. I don't think people understand how much you need to handle and be around a DOMESTIC rabbit to get it to be friendly let alone a wild rabbit. He is not having food handed to him like pellets or hay. Once he's old enough he will be getting greens from outside and be going outside to eat. If he was fed pellets and hay no he probly would have a slimer chance of surviving in the wild.
I know a few people who have done this before and they were fine and skitish when they were set free.

I guess I should have included what the whole note said on the top of the box. " Baby bunny inside. Please feed him his breakfast. (Nest destoryed) (Orphan)"
Is exactly what it said. So there is no doubt that it is wild. I know they come in that colour but as it grows you'll be able to see the differences.

I know Kalie it's going to be hard. I really don't want another bunny right now though. My boys are enough for me. So I'll just enjoy his super cute baby-ness I keep telling myself I will not get attached I will not get attached.

I keep telling myself I will not get attached I will not get attached.

LOL, yeah, good luck with that. Good for you, Alicia, giving this little guy the chance he deserves. I didn't realize how tiny he was until I saw the picture of you holding him. What a little cutie-pie.
