Baby rabbits were discovered in a hole while mowing the lawn yesterday...?

The best advice comes from this website: http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/orphan.html

It states: "Many people mean well when they contact HRS after discovering an "abandoned" nest of wild rabbits. Often they wish to "rehabilitate" them with some advice from others. The reality is fewer than 10% of orphaned rabbits survive a week, and the care that people attempt to provide can be illegal, unnecessary, and potentially harmful. The best thing you can do is put the bunny right back where you found him, in the general area, as the Mom will only come back at night to call and find him. Leave the area. If injured, please contact a Wildlife Rehabilitator or rabbit vet immediately...(if you believe it is orphaned) Again, make sure you KNOW for sure the mom was killed and the bunnies are abandoned (not warm, etc). You will not see the mom. The mom will only come back in the middle of the night to feed her babies. If the mom was killed, the best thing you can do for a wild orphaned baby bunny is to get in touch with a skilled rehabilitator"

If you decide you need a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, you can find one here:

What you should not do is attempt to raise these babies yourself. Not only is it potentially illegal (most native wild species are protected in the US, and you need a permit to keep them), it is also not the best thing for the rabbits. The needs of wild rabbits are vastly different from those of domestic rabbits, and the best chance they have for survival if they have been abandoned is with a trained rehabilitator.

Wait just a day or two at the most. If she hasn't come back after a day she probably won't come back at all. I would call a local wildlife rescue group. My aunt and uncle rescued a bunch of baby bunnies and are now nursing them back to health. Good luck!! I hope the bunnies survive!

wild baby rabbits are really hard to care for because they need their mothers milk.you could call your vet or an animal shelter and see if you can get any advice on them.my cat brought home 4 a few years ago but after a few days they bloated up and died. the mothers nuturing and care for them is what they need. check on line for care for rabbits and hopefully it will help. even better if the mom comes back good luck

you should ask a vet and they will refer a baby bunny formula to help them live and then when they are older maybe give them grass and sell them or give them to good homes because with you taking care of them they wont be able to live without your care and they will die of coyotes, hawk, etc.

-good luck!

a couple days. Then I would try a local animal rescue person
