re: Found baby bunny in yard. How do I help this little fella?

Looks like rabbits do quite well against snakes. Also did a search and venomous snakes aren't too common for this area. Could be a coon, a cat, cyote or something else. Again, not saying it isn't possible that it wasn't a snake. I live in a neighborhood by fields, not a place with crazy vegetation.

That's what I'm thinking. Don't see many cats though either lol. Thanks for the advice on snakes and what not though. It's been fun talking to the kids about it. Son is in first grade and they have been studying the ecosystem. Was a good hands on to explain to him about the food chain.

OP is a turd. People want to act like animals are just like humans if the baby bunny's mommy and daddy isn't around, then it must be abandoned.

Most animals leave their young at home while they go off to forage for food. So you are basically abducting this baby from its momma (who would be home later or was even probably watching you take it from afar) and giving it a death sentence if you release it back to the wild. So congrats on your new pet bunny.

One mother rabbit x 3 female babies x 12 months = 36 female babies (plus your original mama makes 37) Let's add the new babies to the reproductive population at the beginning of the following year. At that point, their average age would be six months--the time of their first litter. (This works if you consider this to be averaging the new females' reproductive output.) If--starting at the beginning of Year Two --each of the Year One female rabbits produces an average of 3 female offspring per month, then by the

End of Year Two:
37 mother rabbits x 3 female babies x 12 months = 1332 female babies
(plus your original 37 will equal a total of 1369 total)
End of Year Three:
1369 mother rabbits x 3 female babies x 12 months = 49,284 female babies
(49,284 + last year's 1369 = 50,653 total)
End of Year Four:
50,653 x 3 x 12 months = 1,823,508 female babies
(1,823,508 + last year's 49,284 = 1,872,792 total)
End of Year Five:
1,823,508 x 3 x 12 months = 67,420,512 female babies
(67,420,412 + last year's 1,872,792 = 69,293,304 total)
End of Year Six:
69,293,304 x 3 x 12 months = 2,494,558,944 female babies
(2,494,558,944 + last year's 69,293,304= 2,563,852,248 total)
Year Seven:
2,563,853,248 x 3 x 12 = 92,298,716,930 female babies
(92,298,716,930 + last year's 2,563,852,248 = 94,862,569,180!)

Orphaned Baby Bunnies: Wild and Domestic
LINK

it says mothers leave bunnies and come back at night to feed them, so put the bunny back where it was so the mom can get to it. although if the other two were dead maybe the mom is dead?

Already put it back. Hopefully it will be fine. If not it will join the other ones.

Again, just trying to help it from being in my yard to be easily attacked. I found what I think the next is and put it back in there.

Good luck. Wild rabbits don't do well in captivity.

Just shut up.

You should put it back.
