Baby rabbit

Found a baby rabbit in the field today when I stepped on him, I say he was attacked by something and I am wondering what to do with him. What would I feed him, I say he is only a couple of days old?

I'd be fairly sure you found a leveret (young hare) as rabbits give birth in a den underground and wouldn't have any reason to be in a field at a few days old. They're also hairless at that age. Mamma Hare leaves them in a flattened patch of grass in the field and comes by to check on them intermittently throughout the day.

Did you bring it back with you?? I'd have left it where it was and let nature take its course.

Is this what you have?


This page may be of some help- http://www.irishwildlifematters.ie/animals/hare.html it gives guidelines for feeding/bedding etc.

I'd start with

Rehydration solution – “1 pinch of sugar and 1 pinch of salt in 1 cup of warm water”

if you really think it wouldn't survive being left back where you found it.

I left him where he is which is in the field next to the garden and he hasn't moved in last 4 hours

Think il leave it be and let nature take it's course
