That's how I got my rabbit, he was dumped. It's not uncommon for people to let rabbits go.

Well make shure that the rabbit is on a diet of hay, Perhaps the single most important item in the rabbit diet is grass HAY, and it should be fed in unlimited quantities to both adults and baby rabbits..

Feed a good quality pellet, A good quality rabbit pellet DOES NOT contain dried fruit, seeds, nuts, colored crunchy things or other things, A good quality rabbit pellet should have at least 22% crude fiber, no more than approximately 14% protein, about 1% fat and about 1.0% calcium. Check the label on the rabbit pellets before you buy. Feed no more than an 1/8 of a cup per 5 lbs of rabbit...

Fresh, moist greens are about as important as hay in maintaining a healthy intestine. Rabbits should have 2-4 cups of fresh veggies a day... Baby rabbits may start receiving greens very gradually at the age of about two months. Add one item at a time, in small amounts, and if you see no intestinal upset, add another.

Cage, Rabbits need a large cage, one that dose not have a wire bottom, if for some reason you can not find a cage without a wire bottom you will have to cover the floor of the cage. Wire bottom cages cause sore hocks on rabbits feet. You can use baby fleece blankets and or old towels.

You will need a water bowl, rabbits will drink more water for a bowl than those sipper bottles.

Don't feed your rabbit cookies, candy, corn, popcorn, oats, crackers, nuts, seeds, breakfast cereals (including oatmeal) Do not feed the rabbit treats from pet stores..

Rabbits need playtime outside the cage. 5+ hours..

You will need a brush nail clippers... Bunny will need brushing and his nails will need to be trimmed.

Rabbis are a ground-dwelling species and do not like being held and or picked up... Rabbits are highly intelligent, social and affectionate.

Altered rabbits make better companions. They are calmer, more loving, and dependable once the undeniable urge to mate has been removed. In addition, rabbits are less prone to destructive (chewing, digging) and aggressive (biting, lunging, circling, growling) behavior after surgery.

Altered rabbits are healthier and live longer than unaltered rabbits......Show more

Your father did the right thing by picking up that bunny! Domesticated bunnies are not meant to be released into the wild! He most likely would be dead by now if your father hadn't picked him up.

Buy these things -
1. Food
2. Water bottle
3. A cage if you don't already have one

Do these things -
1. Give him unconditional love and attention
2. Let him out to play at least 30 minutes a day...Show more
