An Exciting Release!!


      It is still early and already it has been a great but kinda sad day all together! I have been taking care of an orphaned baby bunny and he was ready to be released today, eating a lot of grass and was down to 1 cc of formula only once a day. It's not the first time i have done this, actually I have raised orphaned rabbits three or four other times. Its amazing to watch them grow, it seems like they grow so fast. They start out as these tiny little hairless pink blobs eyes are not open they cant hear and then it seems like the next week they are hairballs jumping playing and getting into trouble.
     This is only the second time I have raised a wild bunny the rest of the babies i raised was from our domestic rabbits who decided they didn't want to take care of babies. Its always different with the wild bunnies, you have to be careful how much you handle them where you put them what goes in the cage with them and of course what you feed them. Wild rabbits aren't going to find much rabbit grain in the wild. Its always satisfying when you see that little wild bunny running back to the wild, that's what they deserve to be wild and happy and have a chance to live out there life free. It's kinda sad when they run with out even a look back, but somehow satisfying as well! Good luck little bunny I know you will do great!!!
