my cat brought in a little baby bunny
the cat is so old that it only has a few teeth left but loves catching animals
luckily the cat didnt hurt the bunny at all because of the lack of his teeth
the bunny is very small====the size of a small rat
what should I do for the bunny?? I dont want to let him out and have him get hurt but im not sure if its worse if I keep him for a few days.

You may be able to return it to its nest, if you can find it?

Sounds like you may have a new pet ;D
Maybe the local humane society can help on Monday :-\
Chances are you'd never find the nest.

haha I know my girl light up when she first picked him up
she looked like she was a little kid again ;D
My dog was getting along with the little bunny too-----------he's a big black pitbull but he loves every living thing---he's a funny dog, most gentle dog you'll ever meet.

I have never had rabbit, and my dogs don't really care for it unless it is mixed in with something else. It is a good protein source for dogs. :)

I had bought some rabbits from my butcher once and the dogs refused to eat them. A friend at the gym likes rabbit so I gave them to him. Their was a condition attached though: He could not eat veal for 6 months. He did cheat and ate veal after 3 months, so he had to start over. ;D

Pigs can make good pets and I bet you eat them.

my old dog used to always run away and go hunting and would sometimes bring back half eaten rabbits-------which she would then try to bring inside so she could finish her meal :-X
its a good thing for my girl and the little bunny that I still dont have my snake--------------that would have been a nice free meal, although my girl would have beaten half to death if I did feed it to the snake
I put the bunny in a little cage I had and feed it some basil from my garden and lettuce-------------he seems to be doing pretty good
Ill keep you guys updated--maybe put some pics up too

exactly
i wouldnt feel bad if I feed the bunny to my snake---but the I know the cat doesn't need to eat the bunny and probably wouldnt anyway since he's doing it just for fun, so I would feel bad if the cat had killed him last night

I don't eat pork and it has nothing to do with the fact that I melt when I see cute lil piglets, in fact lately I've been phasing most beef out of my diet too

If its got fur--meaning its fully haired and it looks like a minature copy of the adult, its probably a weanling---one that should be returned to the area where it was found or a secluded area away from obvious dangers.
if its nto got fur, or the fur is very thin, or the eyes aren't open, its going to be a challenge.... the majority of rabbits that humans attempt to bottle feed die from aspiration pneumonia or intestinal disease. There isn't a good commercially available rabbit milk replacer, so you have to take something from a different species and hope the rabbit will adjust. In a rabbit, there is a reaction between the milk and secretions from the glandular portion of the stomach that literally kills almost all ingested bacteria. This means the intestinal tract is essentially sterile the first few days/weeks fo life. Changing milk from rabbit to anyother can lead to potentially severe bacterial overgrowth and death. If you have access to night feces from a domestic (or wild) rabbit, transfaunation is a must do so that the GI tract develops normal intestinal flora. Even then, a 50% success rate is a good one.
The other thing to consider is that in the wild the mother rabbit spends the majority of the time AWAY from the nest to prevent predators from discovering her young and eating them----these are rabbits, on the food chain, the only thing lower than a rabbit is grass. Thats very, very important to remember when dealing with this species. Often times humans tend to overfeed (meaning feed too many times per day) and understimulate (to stimulate defecation/urination) baby rabbits. This can also lead to intestinal infections/death.
Good luck....

I've returned rabbits (wild) back to the nest & it always seemed like a 50/50 if the mother takes them back in.

Again, remember this is a rabbit, they are a prey species. The mother probably won't visibly take the baby back the majority of the time because you, a human, are a predator to them. Just leave the baby there where its safe and give the mother some time.

So you're saying tying a little carrot around it's neck won't help?
