Can I take him? Bring him inside, name him Bugs and feed him greens. Fairytale ending, till you eat him in a couple of years.

Could be worse. When I was a little kid in the 60's they sold bright yellow and pink chicks at Easter. I never had any, but I always heard, they eventually died from the yellow and pink dye.

I've tried to raise five wild rabbits after my bushhog tore up their nest.

They all died after about two weeks. I fed them cat milk and did everything I could.

If I could change things, I would have put them back in their broken up nest and let nature do it's work.

Anyone know how I can make a financial contribution for the little fella? Didn't see a link.

Yeah op is a turd but what animal baby will he still from the mother next? A baby deer? Perhaps a baby bird all alone in a birds nest?

He's probably dead by now but here's what I found.

" Saving Wild Baby Rabbits
The best chance for survival of a wild baby rabbit is to leave it in
its nest, where the mother will return to take care of it. If you
find a wild baby rabbit, let him be, and do not attempt to "rescue"
him. Mother cottontails feed their babies only once or twice a day,
and then stay as far away from the nest as possible, so as to avoid
attracting predators.
Mama rabbit will be calling for the baby you think is abandoned. No
matter how cute and helpless he looks, if he appears healthy, leave
him alone. If you disturbed a nest, just remake it. If you touched
the baby, that doesn't matter. Put back in the general area in a safe
place. Mama comes back only at night, when you are not looking.
If, however, you find ANY injured animal, or a truly orphaned wild
baby (you can confirm that the mother was killed), contact your local
humane society/animal control. Do not attempt to feed the babies, as
the physiology of their digestive tract is incredibly complex and
sensitive. Feeding anything can definitely do more harm than good. "
