Dear Paris,

Is this a wild baby cottontail?  If so, please go here for some useful information on how to save and properly release them:

IF the baby is trying to jump out, he needs to be in a *covered* cage or pen that's on the floor, so he can't harm himself if he jumps.  You don't say how old they are, but if these are wild babies, then keeping him in captivity much longer could result in what's called "captive stress death."  A wild baby is so stressed by being in captivity, that the stress simply kills him without warning.

I hope the article above helps. Please write back if you have any other questions.
