 This whole thread has made me about fall out of my seat, for some reason. Jeeze, maybe I need to go to sleep! This right here nearly took the words right out of my mouth, when I saw the pic and heard the story. vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

I used to have several pet rabbits. Lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, egg plant slices, etc was what I normally fed them. Once in awhile I'd give them fruit to balance out their diets a bit, but they tend to like vegetables more.

You have it calmed, then?
My fucking cats get all excited and hunt down chipmunks, baby bunnies--it's in their nature. I could tolerate it but they're not hungry--it's just instinct. So they toss the fuckers around and generally use said animal as a plaything. Also, they're de-clawed on the front paws.
Keep kitties inside, let it out, and smell its way back to its hole. Or, you could keep it as a pet. I would like to raise a raccoon or possum. You can domesticate them, and they're just fascinating.
Best of luck!

ya rabbits shouldnt be confined to small areas. if you have a goo backyard that is fenced off well (assuming you want to keep it) then just let it run wild in ur backyard. Feed it a source of lettuce, rabbit food (can be bought at pet stores) carrots, water and I think you can buy supplement milk from pet stores as ell. If you dont intend on keeping it, either take it out to the wild and release it as they are good at intergrating and are pretty independant animals, even at tender ages... it will find its way home.
But yeah, you interviened on nature, good and bad job I suppose, but I would have done the same thing (I have such a soft spot for animals)
go to a vet and ask him what you should do, but rabbits are a plague here in Aus so people just run over them or shovel them to the head so cruel

lettuce and carrots until you can get to the pet shop to buy him some timothy hay pellets.
he's probably in shock too. so make sure you keep him somewhere where he feels safe and make sure he has plenty of water.

the bunny looks old enough to have been weened already. if that is the case, he's pretty much on his own. although his family is probably nearby. rabbits are very social animals, and normally live in groups.
Trendal, you should keep him safe for a couple days then let him go in a bush near where you found him. he'll find his way to his family and should be fine.

Feed it timothy hay and any basic rabbit food from a pet store. The timothy hay is much more important, they need a constant source of fiber (they may die if their digestion is obstructed, they cannot vomit). Don't give it milk or anything like that, anything but rabbit milk is dangerous. I'm sure there are some animal rescues nearby that would rehabilitate and release him into the wild, Canada, NE & West coast US are where a lot of rabbit specific rescue shelters are ran. Good luck Trendal, thanks for saving him

I have no intention of keeping the poor thing caged up any longer than I have to. Last night it was a choice between a cage or the cats...I live in the city so I don't have anywhere outside I could keep the thing safe. I also have my own house-cat to worry about...
I'm going with slothie's advice: keep it for a day or two until it's not in shock anymore, then let it go in the bushes.
