Granny's gone and done it again

I wonder if you could take it to a local rabbit breeder and it could nurse off a doe with kits?

Here in the boonies, we got nuttin.

If you know where the nest is you could put it back as long as you can keep the dog away...

what about the cold ? Its a rare cold snap. I wonder if I could keep it alive tonight then take it out tomorrow when it warms up? I dont know how I would stop the dogs. theres 3 of them in a small area

The rabbits insulate the nests with their fur and the mothers usually do not sit on the kits like a hen would. Pretty sure they only go to the nest to feed them because they do not want to attract predators. I just checked Louisville craigslist and there are several breeders but I don't know if they would want a wild rabbit or not. Maybe they could give you some advice. I really don't know what to do besides put it back in the nest....

Thanks ! The nest consisted of wet tall grass and a very small amount of fur that the dog destroyed

I forgot a friend of mine worked at a rehab sanctuary and she talked me through it but the bunny is back in its nest . Hope it makes it. I will have to keep a close eye on the Bandit dog.

My rehabber friend told me someone dropped a whole litter of wild rabbits off to them and they put it w/ a domesticated and she happily took them.

Tom went to bed at 6pm. He isnt doing as good as I would like to see. He was in pain and said the pain from his foot was going up his leg.

Uggg Cap ! I was hoping you would tell me it would be fine in the cold and to put it back. I know Bandit will just bring it back to me.
He is very gentle H2o.

Only if you can find the nest. If you want it to live.
