How Do I Contact A Rehabilitator

How Do I Put The Baby Rabbit Back?

Most animals will take back their young after a human has touched it. They will not take back a cold baby.

  1. Place the baby rabbit in a small box with low sides
  2. Put in a warm blanket or hot water bottle to keep baby warm
  3. Place the box back exactly where you found it
  4. Leave box and watch from a hidden area
  5. Keep all domestic cats and dogs away from area
  6. Watch for 3-4 hours
  7. When mom returns go pick up your box and wish the baby rabbit good luck
     

The Best Chance A Baby Rabbit Has Is Its Mom

If mom does not return in that time period bring baby back in. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator.
