Description
There were 2 baby bunnies we had to rescue from our field so they wouldn't get run over with the lawn mower.We ended up taking care of them for a couple days to make sure they were uninjured and figure out where the safest place was to release them...
sadly they both kinda died..I was going to feed them before taking them out that morning but sometime early morning they died. not sure if from fear or maybe they were injured inside after all. poor little babies.
Well...at least they didn't get squished or eaten by cats like they would have been if I let them go.

Don't feel bad. They probaby died of shock. That's happened to me everytime I've rescued a baby bunny. Just be happy that you gave them someplace safe and warm to be before they died.

they were adorable, one of them liked to hop into my hand and it made me so happy X3 I had to fix up the little nest I made for them because they collapsed it by jumping on it a couple times. it probably knew if it was in my hand it could probably get out and explore XD it was precious.

Baby bunnies need mama's/special milk multiple times a day from mama or a certified wildlife expert, FYI for next time.

i think their mom was eaten based off all the rabbit fur i found in the yard a couple days before we found these guys <<
they were eating lots of grass so I just figured they were old enough to not need milk, and they got very hoppity. I felt so bad though. -_- seems like either way they would have died =/

Ah. An exotic vet specialist would have been a great thing, and they would likely have taken them to a wildlife sanctuary and treated them, free of charge. But I guess you didn't realize they were hurt or ill. Next time. Wildlife rehab places will release in safe areas they're familiar with, too, when they're sure they're well.

I don't even know of any places like that around here.
I guess I should do some reasearch and see if there are any in driving distance.
we've cared for and released several wild animals our cats have dragged in before. We just don't always win.
Thanks for the reminder next time baby animals that young end up in our hands I will try harder for them.

Search "wildlife rescue" or "wildlife rehab" or ask a local vet. Some vets allow dropoffs for things like that. Some rescues also pick up. I'm glad you try. Trying matters.
