What can you do with baby bunnies in a yard?

The best thing to do if you find baby bunnies in your yard is to leave them alone. Tampering with the nest may cause more harm than good and, in some states, may even be illegal.

Rabbits are known to hide their nest sites in plain view. The mother rabbit only feeds her young in the morning and at night, which can lead some to believe the nest is abandoned when it really isn't. If a baby rabbit appears injured, contact a certified rehabilitation specialist. Wild baby bunnies do poorly in captivity, with a 90 percent mortality rate in the first week if they do not receive expert care and attention.
