She will probably die. I had a similar thing happen and we did feed them with a bottle from a toy baby doll....a small one, but they only lived a few days. These were newborns though....hmmmm, you can probably call someone locally to come rescue it possibly...any ideas anyone? Keep in mind it is a wild animal and most likely has parasites....perhaps call a vet for advice if notyhing else....they may give you some tips for free even...all depends how involved you want to get I suppose...good luck, it's a nice thing to do...try and save one of Gods creatures...good kharma :-)

baby wild rabbits rarely survive in captivitythe most humane thing to do is put her back as close to where she was found as possibleher mother should come for her, they dont ignore thier babies if humans touch them, but if more than 48 hours go by she may loose her mothers sent and be in real troublewild rabbits do not make good pets they never calm down and are impossible to bottle feed

if you have a wild rabbit, the best thing to do is not call any animal rescue, they will yell at you like they did me, it is acctually against the law to catch a wild rabbit and care for it, if it has fur on it and its eyes are open, its old enought to care for itself, thanks alot , if u have anmore questions please e-mail me at codysmelser@yahoo.com

If it is a wild rabbit ( sounds like it) put her back near where you got her & let her be. It can fend for itself at a young age. Domestic rabbits get weaned @ 5 weeks of age, I'm sure wild ones are weaned a bit younger. Depending on your state it is illegal to keep wild animals without a license.Don't feel bad about putting back out in the wild, it is meant to be there!

Since it is a wild baby rabbit it needs special care in order for its survival. Read this site: http://www.mybunny.org/info/newborn.htmYou will find it helpful of you want to save this rabbit! Handle it ONLY during feedings and make sure to keep it in a quiet, safe, out-of-the-way area of your home, as excessive handling and human interaction can be extremely stressful and potentially fatal, and will lessen its chance or survival once released back into the wild.
