Hi all,
Looking for some help and advice please. About half an hour ago we found a baby rabbit in the road clearly traumatised. He/she was frozen in shock, so when I went to shoo him back off the road he just sat there breathing extremely fast.
I brought him home and he is now in a cardboard box filled with hay. I think he may have been the victim of a predator as although I can't see any injuries on him there is a graze on his lip and loose fur. I would estimate him to be around 6 weeks old.
Help! I have 10 rabbits of my own but no experience of one this young and wild. Is it safe to try and release him once his condition is better? Does he need heat pads for now? What about food?
Many thanks in advance.
