Do you know about how old they are? If they have fur and no white spot on their head then they are ready to be on they're own. I found 5 baby rabbits a couple months ago, 4 died in one week, the last one made it about a month and then died. They are very fragile, and also are stressed out easy. I personally don't think they should be given as pets, they are wild animals. And isn't it illeagle to keep wild animals as pets? Good luck with them.

They are around 3 weeks old and they are taken to the vet and he said to keep them because they have ben in contact with humans at a school playground and need to have a good home because 2 have broken legs from a raccon getting in the nest and one died because the raccon gave it a fatil bite.

Wild rabbits are not the same as those that are tame. They die easily from stress, and that can include handling. The kindest thing to do would be to euthanize them. The chances that they will survive are extremely low and if their legs are broken, they are suffering.

I know he splinted them and gave us pain meds and the domistic rabbits die form just seeing a raccon or hearing one.
