wild baby rabbit

I know its tempting as they're so adorable, but you may still get to enjoy him or her, but the rabbit will be happier in the wild where they belong. If it's a female and its safe there you may find she/or her mother may come back to nest there yearly. I know in our previous home we had a mother rabbit that was very kind in having babies in our backyard yearly even twice a year, so we got to see them leave the nest if we were lucky enough to be home when they went. And it was awesome BC for whatever reason she had a white diamond on her forehead. I hope you get to see the baby all grown up. :)
 
I had a wild bunny once. My friend found it with a broken leg and brought it to me. I nursed it back to health, let it run around on the floor and carried it in my shirt pocket. It was a rewarding experience, even though he did chew my furniture, the little pest. ;)
That being said, I only kept him long enough for that leg to heal. Which it did. A little off kilter, but he used it fine. Then I wished him mounds of luck and released him.
I often wonder how he did. I hope he did well. But keeping him was never an option in my mind. He wasn't happy. Even though he liked me. Once his leg healed he was constantly trying to escape, even jumping to windows to try. That didn't seem like a happy bun to me.
 
i live out on a farm and i find abandoned baby rabbit nests with kits in it what i do is i use kitten replacer its the clostest to rabbit milk and you can get it at a local walmart or petsmart and after a couple of weeks they are ready to go but be sure to put them in the nest and check up on them here and there

No, you use puppy milk replacer when absolutely necessary for rabbits. Preferably rabbit milk replacer. Kitten is too high protein and too low fat for rabbits. They also need to be stimulated to defecate and urinate. This is why you NEVER take in a wild baby rabbit unless you know for sure it is orphaned or injured, there is too much misinformation.
