It's even illegal to attempt to raise a wild orphaned bunny, and you are supposed to call the state wildlife office and have them picked up for the experts to raise. However, I have raised a few on a couple of separate occasions, and then set them free when they were old enough to fend for themselves. It's not easy - sometimes you succeed, and sometimes you don't.

There's a BIG difference between wild and domesticated rabbits. You should let this little one go on it's way at will, and definitely don't keep it restrained in any way.

Here's a few of pics of my last babies from a few years ago.

She is very happy where she is, Pomtzu. The pen isn't tiny at all. It's eight foot long, ten foot wide, complete with shelter, food, and water (in case she is to get thirsty, I dug a small hole and filled it up with water... like a pond!) And thanks for caring about Flower but really she is fine.


And okay, Karen, as soon as I found Carrot I stocked up on all that good stuff- I'm sure I have some left. I'll check tomorrow, next time I feed her.
