We found a baby........Bunny :)

[lv4dogs]

That bunnie looks way old enough to be on his/her own, it is remarkable but bunnies are on their own, kicked out of the nest by about 3-4 weeks of age.
A lot of people think they are helping by catching baby bunnies but please please leave them be! They are wild creatures!!!!
After working at vets & shelters for years upon years I can not even begin to tell you how many people tried to "help" wild animals especially bunnies & as it turned out 90% of them were just fine living on their own!

I don't mean to be rude but if a hawk was going to get it than that means the hawk would of got to eat! When was the last time the hawk ate? Do you know? Probably not, I'm sorry people but there is a thing called the food chain, of course some people don't know that though because were are at the top unfortunatly!

And then another no no is to not put it in w/ your chincilla, there could be diseases, parasites, what if they didn't get along, it could of caused death, maybe still can if you don't know that the bunny had anything that was harmful to your chi or the other way around.

now this bunny is getting used to being handled & such, so don't worry if it does not get released soon it may still end up being that hawks meal, or possibly let an unruley person handle him & god knows what would happen then. Not everyone is animal friendly!

And i also remember the post about your re-hab facility, I would NOT take that bunny there, that was so fithly & disgusting!!!

Thats why the bunny is staying here and yes they are nasty, but they know what they are doing. Plus it's the only place around here.

Also the hawk will get food someplace else.

It's amazing, I readed posts on, how people here could not leave a wounded animal, that they would take it to a vet, put it down to save it from suffering etc etc. I do it and get H##L

I'm done with this, I don't need it right now. We did what we belived was right, so judge me for that if you will, it won't change a thing.

The Bunny is fine, The Chin is fine!!! Stop thinking the worse in people.

I am VERY VERY SORRY, I had misread your post, where it said that "the bunny would of died, no ifs ands or buts about it". I saw in the pics that the bunny looked healthy & it wasn't until multiple posts later did you mention anything about it's health! again I am very sorry. I really am
i had a bad day & must of overlooked those 2 sentances. I know having a bad day is no excuse for not reading properly but I really did overlook it & am sorry.

So what is wrong w/ the bunny?
Is it getting better?

But this little bunny is just fine, isn't it!? It does not need any medical attention. If I found the bunny and it was hurt I would definately take it in to get looked at, but if it was not injured it is to be left alone. The bunny would be o.k on it's own.

If the baby bunny became food for the hawk- oh well, not much you can really do, that's just nature.

Ok guys this is my last post. But I want you to feel better about this little guy.

The bunny has small wounds on his back side, that don't show up in the pictures. He's is on med.'s etc. (The Items that they gave me along with the cage) Yes these people are nasty, but I've seen their work and their good hearts, so I learned to trust them, 100%.

I'm sorry I didn't explain it better in my first post, but right now, I'm dealing with Canila's cancer, Brock needs surgery for his heart, etc., so I wasn't up to posting bad things. I just needed something happy in my life right now. So I left out some things. Sorry. Right now, just typing these words is making me cry, it's just to much to think about every thing.

I have over 80 animals right now all but maybe 10 of of them are rescue animals. I've have dogs that have been set on fire where 98% of their body was burned. Ducks missing a foot, Goose with only 1 wing, Cancer dogs who's owner gave them up, Dogs that where living in 12" by 12" cages for 3 years of their life, with major behavior problems. Goats who's mothers where killed by dogs, when only days old, ETC ETC ETC. The local shelter here calls me when, they can't handle issuse that comes up. I take in what they call their un-adoptable pets. Most of my guys would have been put down by the shelter, if we didn't take the time to work with them. I didn't get this rep., by not knowing what I'm doing.

I not trying to be mean here, I just want everyone to understand, I'm not a fool that doesn't know a few things. I'm also sorry if I'm might be taking things to hard right now, but I am at that breaking point where the little things are getting to me.

I undersatnd that everyone here cares and means well, but I have to be honest, the fact that it is easier to assume the worse in people instead of the best, bothers me. My rule is Ask, don't assume or judge before taking the time to ask ?'s or nicely suggest, like Karen did by her link. But even I mess up now and again if my mood is off.

I hope you can understand my thinking.

Thanks for caring.
See you around.

I hope everything gets better for you, I am going to miss you sooo bad.

You have really done some good things with all your rescues and well all the animals you have come in contact with. They are very lucky to have you and your husband.

I wish you wern't leaving, please feel better and come back to us soon!

I am sorry I snapped. Regardless, putting a rabbit in with your chin is a big no no. I am sure you are capable to care for this bun, but please set him free once he is better. He really does deserve to be wild. If he gets eaten, there's nothing you can do about it unfortunately. That's life.

I give you two thumbs up. I took in two wild bunny babies a couple years ago. They were found at a construction site. They were dehydrated and one was suffering from seizures. I worked with them and the seizures stopped!! When they were older they were released by a rehab center. (I had help from a rehaber from a center the whole time I had the bunnies.) I learned a lot and have done more rehab since.
