Question
ok we found a bunny the other day it is very lil it fit in my hand  we tried to feed it warm milk but it wi not eat it so wat should we feed it and wat do we need to put in it cage  i have never had a rabbit befor wat will it eat we dont now how old he is i mean he is usen the restroom so wat should we do

Answer
You can find information on feeding and such at http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/orphan.html

If his eyes are closed, you can keep him in a box with a towel and possibly an external heat source.  If he has his eyes open, he is more than 10 days old and will need something more secure than a box.  Cage bars are generally far enough apart that rabbits this small can escape.
