Lady Rescues A Newborn Rabbit And Raises Her Until She's Ready To Be Wild Wild Hearts What a beautiful rescue. I have a cottontail rescue thats almost 3 years old. Her little eyes werent even open when we got her. She was maybe 5 days old. I knew nothing about Cottontails and turned to the internet for emergency rescue information. She lived, which was a miracle, and I didnt have the courage to release her back into the wild like you did. But she has a good life and has outlived all of her wild predecessor family who have called my property home. The descendants now living on my property are much younger than her. They only live about 1-2 years in the wild. At 3 years old, I still cant pet her but she will take food from me. At night, I open her large pen and let her run around my room. A few nights ago, I wake up to her standing on my back. The minute I moved, she lept off the bed and hid. She is such a cutie.

You forcing that rabbit into the wild is wrong, especially after you trained that rabbit to be domesticated in your home since it was a baby. NOW all of a sudden you can't keep it, why not It's not accustomed to being in the wild. Rabbits are prey animals to bears, birds, cats, coyotes, alligators, etc yet you let it fend for itself with 0 survival instincts, that's illogical. The reason it won't come back inside your house is because it feels rejected. That rabbit didn't want to be in the wild, you pushed it out. You used that poor creature for content, you should be ashamed of yourself!

I had rabbits, a pregnant mom I adopted who gave birth to four kits. I kept them for life. They are great pets when you learn how to care for them. Did you get her spayed My fear is you had her too long and she had no survival skills on her own. And outdoors 8s dangerous and she might not have made it. Also, the diet you fed her was not rabbit food. The babies eat alfalfa. And the adults eat out hay. And certain, dark green veggies like romaine lettuce, parsley, and book choy. Carrots and apples are rabbit candy and not good. They are litter box trained.

Someone gave my husband a baby wild bunny they found when they ran over the nest with their lawnmover. they all dispersed but one. I kept my bunny because I knew the chances of a wild rabbit surviving the wild for a year's time would be very slight. Rabbits are food. And I couldn't let my little Munchkin be hawk food. She got along with my other domestic bunnies, but of course you can see she would never get rid of her wild instincts. she was very skittish. I had her for 9 years, and she was the sweetest thing, and no I don't regret releasing her.

There is a good chance that the bunny that comes by every summer isn’t the same bunny, wild rabbits don’t live long. 11 months is common, 2 years is if their lucky. Had she continued to house it, it might have lived to 5 years. The mother rabbits was probably food for a predator so, that rabbit’s survivability is about the same. Release videos always remind me of the one where a girl let the bunny go, 20 feet away a hawk swoops and grabs it with the bunny squeaks as it is carried away.

Long story, but My dad accidentally hid and broke a baby bunnies back the other day and there were two other bunnies and it looked like they were on their own and my dad took them in but later on put them back outside in a little nest he made for them but blah blah blah that crippled one died and one of the siblings ran of by it’s self and now I’m kinda taking care of the last one but it seems to be really scared but it loves when I give it food but I feel bad for it.
reply

Bittersweet ending, but you did everything right - everything from taking her in when you confirmed she was all alone, to doing the research on rabbit care, to letting her go when she was old and strong enough.
As a rabbit person who has had pet rabbits, I don't know if I could have let her go so easy. I probably would, eventually, it'd probably just take me longer than it took you, lol.

This video is the perfect example of wild rabbit breeds vs domesticated. You could never release a pet rabbit and expect it to survive. And yet with a wild one, the most beautiful thing you can do is release them and let there instincts take over.
reply

This gives me hope that the 7 cottontails that I saved from drowning during a flood over the weekend are in good hands with a rehabber now. I keep reading how difficult it is to hand raise wild baby buns. I hope they all make it like this bunny did!
reply

Good that she managed to survive in the wild. Many wild animals raised domestically won’t make it when released to the wild as they lack the wild survival skills. They may survive a little while but eventually perished not long after.
reply

I would have kept it. They live terribly short lives outdoors. My pet rabbits act like they wanna stay outdoors too until the freakin rain and minus 35 degrees comes and they're right back in my hands.
reply

I have one right now! We are in week 2 with her and it’s such a hard decision to let her back out. we live way in the Rocky Mountains and it’s a tough terrain. Most don’t make it to a very old age.
reply

That is not a rabbit, it is a hare, I say this because of its long legs compared to those of my domestic rabbit, I think it is a hare
(Sorry if there are spelling mistakes, I don't speak English)

reply

Thanks for rescuing her but I hope people don’t watch this story thinking they can release their domesticated rabbits in the wild when they lose interest in taking care of a domesticated bunny.
reply

Thank you for this video. We found a baby rabbit and this video really helped our kids understand the importance of releasing him back to the wild once he is strong enough to survive.
reply

This is not a rabbit but a hare. Rabbits live in burrows in the ground, and hares live on the surface and run very fast, which is indicated by the structure of this hare - long limbs
reply

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that this is clearly a hare and not a rabbit. There's a big difference, and you can't keep a hare in the house. She had to release it.
reply

My girlfriend just found a baby bunny being pawed back and forth by two cats so we took it home at our apartment we have no idea what we are doing please help us.
reply

I'm happy you took care of the cute little bun bun but I would cry too because I would be worried. Talking about my anxiety if I didn't see her often.
reply

I’d be scared releasing her into the wild. Cause she grew up in safe home raised and handfed by human. Can she protect herself from predators
reply

We had 4 of these rabbits and we also tried to take care of them until we can release them back to the wild, but they sadly didn’t make it
reply

I have 2 newborn rabbits that my dog found. They're haven't taken any food yet. I don't know if they're going to make it.
reply

The way she bolts off liek a flash I'd probably have named her Zippy. Zippy Longstocking. Zippy Long-ear-stocking, lol.
reply

My baby rabbits in my yard I had a nest but now the babies are gonei cried every day it was heartbreaking
reply

I released her. and thenthe bunny run back to the house, that was literally 20 feet away. sounds like a scam.
reply

I am very touched by your action. I have had rabbits, I understand. Thank you for being who you are.
reply

Such a kind heated woman, I love people like that. She actually lost sleep over the baby rabbit haha
reply

What Jessica did was the very best of what we humans are. LOVE and COMPASSION will carry us.
reply

Its truly a honor to help a little rabbit that everything else wants to kill. A true Blessing
reply

I am such a animal lover, so im glad that this rabbit had a chance at life bc of this woman.
reply

Thank you for saving this baby Jessica and giving it back its freedom when it was ready to go
reply

Released into the wild and it will likely be killed by someones cat they let run in the area
reply

My Mum says animals are pure and they only feel love and kindness in their hearts.
reply

Nature gave out its fruit and wealth without asking for return. And we should do too.
reply

I'd find it hard to let that rabbit go because I would get too attached to him.
