Hi
We recently found a young rabbit in the garden. The fence is 5 feet tall and sealed right around and it's a mystery as to how the little fellow got in and how long he'd been there.
It has no immediate signs of any ill health or wounds from a predator attack. We put it in a box to rest overnight with some leaves and water and and it's eating and drinking and passing waste normally. It doesn't seem to mind being handled or petted and will sit in the palm of your hand even when three dogs are sniffing around it!
I'm afraid that if we release it in a field and it's a domistic rabbit it will die or if we keep it and it's wild, it'll be unhappy
I'll try and upload some pics to see if anyone can help
