WILD BABY BUNNY ON THE ROAD!

[XxKittyMewMewXx]

So I didn't know this, but I looked it up. Young rabbits disperse from the nest at 15-20 days old. By three weeks of age, they are on their own in the wild and no longer require a mother's care.

Baby rabbits are so vulnerable. My cat caught one and tried to eat him, but our dog saved its life. We took him to the vet, got him stitched up and got him some meds, and we decided to rehab him ourselves, because the local rehab was way over capacity. He was fine during that time, just hanging out in a big 50 gallon tote with hay and a small box to hide in. We fed him veggies, gave him fresh water every day, and tried not to handle him too much.

Then after a few weeks the stitches came out and he was a lot more active, and after another month we went to release him. But he kept coming back, over and over again, so we tried a couple days later, but he still wouldn't go. He would take a few hops, look around, then run back and sit on my foot. Then we tried a 3rd time, and the same thing, only this time we walked away, but he ran after us. Not sure what to do, we named him Stitches decided to just keep him. That was 3 years ago, and he's still with us.

Most of these videos I've seen people handle wild rabbits they keep holding them up in the position that shows their bellies when they've been told time and again that they're not supposed to do that because it puts them in so much distress. You have a first person I've seen that handled the bunny with so much care. Thank you very much😊

Her: "You gotta let go of what you love."
Other people: "Finders keepers!"

Everyone else: *picks up bunny* "You're my friend now. We're gonna have soft tacos"

The fact it was cleaning its self means it was comfortable around you! Awww lucky!

[nucleartestrabbit]

I’m guessing it did almost get run over and it was probably panicking pretty bad. Rabbits are prey animals their instincts are 99% flight and maybe 1% fight. A common occurrence even with domesticated rabbits is they get frightened and die of heart attacks. The fact that it wasn’t gone immediately is a strong indicator that it was out of it. The fact that it was grooming itself though is a good sign that it was comfortable with you.

Bunny’s mind (at first): “I am a rock, I am a very terrified rock.”

Edit: damn, thanks for the likes guys!
