What do I feed the bunny????

Cottontails do not do well in captivity - it's also illegal. Please turn it loose.

Domestic rabbits eat timothy hay and these little hay pellet things. Look up like rabbit pellets or something and it should come up!

This isn’t a domestic rabbit though. It’s a wild one and it won’t do well in captivity. It probably won’t even know what the pellets are or that they are food.

Rabbits are some of the most sensitive prey animals. You may think you're helping but you are actually causing a lot of stress to an animal that is VERY likely in shock right now. I sure hope it's uninjured as cat bites are deadly, especially when combined with shock.
Please release it or get it to a professional for help.

Do not feed rabbit pellets to a wild rabbit - it can kill them. Hay or grass only. But please, release it. As a prey animal keeping it captive will cause it great stress and you will never be able to interact happily with it.

I hope they’re out releasing it now.

Release it or if it's actually badly injured take it to a wildlife rescue if you have one, the best thing to do is release though.

Definitely release it. Keeping it will be doing no one any favors. The hare will be a horrible pet and will be extremely stressed. If you want a pet rabbit, do your research and get a domestic rabbit, you'll be far far happier

I have decided to monitor the rabbit for a day or two, then release it back into the woods.

Good. Thank you.
