Should I release this bunny?

Question

My cats bring in baby bunnies and They brought in one and he isn't hurt. My dad is making me release it back to the outdoors, but im not sure if i should because she might be the last one left, there is no telling what my cats have done! I really need to release her because she won't eat anything, but I dont know if I should.

Answer 1

If the baby bunnies eyes are open and ears stand erect. Its fine and already on its own. Wild baby bunnies dont stay long with mom because by the time the eyes are open and ears are up moms pregnant with another litter.

Wild baby bunnies are very small so they may look helpless but just release it, it will be perfectly fine. Release it far from your house in a grassy lot with some shrubs and bushes for cover.

Answer 2

Call your local wildlife officer or animal control. like said before if the animal is older it should be fine when released.



consider keeping your cat indoors to protect local wildlife. Cats can do a lot of damage to local wildlife and are a factor in the endangerment of many small species. If there are rabbits close to you chances are there are snares as well. Snares do not discriminate between rabbit or cat.

Answer 3

Yes - you should release it back into the wild where it belongs.



If you're worried about your cats nabbing it again, get in the car (or have your parents take you) a mile or so away from your house and release it there. That way your kitties won't get to it.

Answer 4

She most likely will not be reaquainted with her mum, so she'll probably end up getting eaten or starving to death if you release her. If I were you, I would take her to your vet's office, or your local animal shelter. They will gladly take it from you.



EDIT: You didn't specify the age. Are its eyes still closed? If so, take it to a shelter. If not, release it.

Answer 5

either ur cat or ur bunny goes to the animal shelter. and keep ur cat indoors, girl! outdoor cats annoy the hell out of me, cuz they endanger the lives of msaller animals and they can be pests to other neighbors.

Answer 6
