Rabbits are independent from their mother at 2 weeks of age. Does it still have a white spot on top of it's head...if yes...get kitten replacement milk and bottle feed. But like I said, rabbits are weened and on their own at 2 weeks of age.

Treat it like you would any other rabbit. Unless they aren't fluffy yet, if that is the case they will probably die.

You can call the wildlife department in your area or call a local vet and they will be able to give you assistance.

Dont care for the rabbit yourself. Call your areas wildlife rescue and they will send someone for it. They have the knowlege and iunformation to properly care for it without allowing it to become tame.. which will increase its chances for survival upon release into its own habitat.

Actaullay jack rabbits are ready to leave the nest as soon as thier eyes are open. It takes them 9 weeks before they are sexually mature. Take them to your local animal shelter and they will either take care of them themselves of find a wild animal sanctuary. I have reared many wild animals myself but have been properly trained to do so. Your animal shelter knows how. Good luck.

The best thing to do is take them to an animals sanqutary. I have tried to take care of baby rabbits and they die. They need to be feed constantly. At least once an hour. If you are going to keep it then get baby milk especially formulted for animals. Feed it out of a little bottle and keep it in a warm safe place at nigtht. Good Luck!!! I hope it lives!
