My cat killed two little bunnies over the last 24 hours. Yesterday he killed one, caught 2 that we retrieved from him. We initially tried returning the bunnies to the nest, but then he killed another today and the last survivor was being trapped between the cat and the dog so we picked it up.
We're trying to keep the cats in. Easier said than done. Is it safe to relocate it well away from our animals? It is probably 3ish weeks old. Eyes and ears are open, it cleans itself. Without siblings for warmth will he have a chance or should we keep it inside?
I know it is best in the wild but I also don't want to allow the dog and cats torture it.
I contacted a rehabber but no response. Animal shelters and such are closed here. Any suggestions appreciated.
