Baby Bunny Rabbit

Question
My dog Jasmyn brought us this brand new (eyes not even open) baby rabbit that had no harm to it and we would like to raise it. What are the proper things we can do to take care of and raise this baby?

Answer
Just a warning, but young wild rabbits are hard to hand raise due in part to them being wild.  If you really want to raise it yourself I suggest you check out http://www.debmark.com/rabbits/faq/wild.htm for more information, I have found this website helpful and easy to understand.  I also suggest calling a wild life rehab center somewhere in your area for advice. be advised though that in some states, keeping and raising wild animals is illegal.

Good Luck
