Dear Taylor,

This is most likely a wild cottontail, and it should be put back in its nest, if at all possible.  For instructions on what to do for a wild baby rabbit you've found, please read:

I hope that helps!

Answer
Dear Taylor,

You didn't say this was an orphaned rabbit.  You said someone had found it in their back yard, which is why I assumed it was a wild cottontail (very common this time of year).  If you are *sure* the baby is domestic, then this will help:

You need to give me more detail about the leg problem, but if the legs are splayed out to the side, this will help:

Again, find a good rabbit vet here:

to help you with all this.  For more information on rabbit care, please visit:

Good luck!
