Can wild baby bunnies be kept alive without their mother?

I found wild baby bunnies that were in a nest in my flower bed,but no sight of the mother,should I bring them in and try to feed them,or will the mother come back? It is raining,I'm afraid they will get wet.

Wild mother rabbits may only visit the nest a couple times per day so that is why you will probably never see her. So do NOT touch the babies and leave them there. You do not want to leave a scent trail to the nest for predators to follow. Rain is part of nature and if rain would hurt all baby bunnies then we wouldn't have so many rabbits. I wouldn't worry about the rain as long as the area isn't going to flood. Stay away or the mother rabbit won't come back in your presence and then the babies might die.





If you really think there is a problem, see this link to find a rehabber in your area: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact....





I suggest you call a rehabber before doing anything. Whatever you do, DO NOT attempt to feed them. So many baby rabbits die from well meaning people trying to help. They should ONLY be fed by someone experienced. They can easily inhale liquids if not done right and a sudden change of formula can cause diarrea and death!!!!
