QuestionI found a wild bunny in my back yard. He/ She is around 5 weeks old but I wonder what can I give him/her to eat or if can drink water already?
thanks
AnswerAt five weeks, the bunny is already old enough to be on it's own. If it's a healthy rabbit, you'll want to release back in a safe place in your backyard.
If it looks sick, you may have to find a wildlife rehabilitator. In many states, it's illegal for vets to treat wildlife and in some cases for people to keep wildlife even if it is to help them.
This article has more information on young rabbits:

But the best bet is to release it back into your yard.
