Question
I have a lone 3 week old kit that I've let sleep with me the past few days.  Is it a good idea or is it better to let it sleep with its mom?

It would sleep next to me but when it's not sleeping it would roam on the bed climbing and jumping on me.  The poop isn't a problem but it peed last night and I put it back with its mother.

Answer
Hi Tom!

At three weeks old a kit should still be with its mother constantly.

They are fed until around 6 weeks old, and need to be with mum to learn all the stuff a young bunny needs to know.

Please reunite baby with its mum, they'll do much better together

Please do come back if you need anymore help or advice :-)
