Abandoned Bunny

Question
I just found an abandoned baby bunny, I know this for sure because the mother is dead. I have waited just in case, but nothing happened so I brought the baby inside. He/She is not afraid of humans, I have got the baby to drink some water and eat a few sliced carrots and grass. The baby is about the size of a hand. If its possible, I would like to take care of the baby and maybe domesticate it, but if I am doing more harm by keeping the baby, I would like to do whatever is best for him/her. Please help.

Answer
Hi,

the fastest info I can give you is to do this:

visit the House Rabbit Society web site: www.rabbit.org

and search on "newborn" , "babies" and "orphan" to bring up articles that will help you with your baby bunny.  Also you can call the House Rabbit Society, you might be able to find a state or local office for them where you live and get in touch with them for some verbal help.
