My daughter had found two orphaned bunnies about 8 years ago in her back yard. She's really great at taking care of " baby " anything. She was going on vacation right after she found the babies so of course I got to take care of them before they were strong enough to be released. My daughter had contacted someone that she knew that's pretty much an " expert" on wildlife and told her exactly where to release them when it was time, a safe place. In the meantime we were given a recipe for bunny formula that I'd like to share just in case you find yourself in the same situation someday.
2 Tablespoons of baby rice cereal
1 Cup of milk
4 Teaspoons of heavy cream
1 Tablespoon plain yogurt
Mix together and refrigerate. Feed by dropper. I would feed at lukewarm temps.
Hope that helps.

I "found" a bunny bed in straw against the side of my house several years ago. There were five bunnies that scrambled when I moved the straw to see what was there. The bunnies looked more like rats or squirrels with big ears! I was able to catch and put four of the five bunnies back in their bed, but I was worried about the stray cats that used to walk through my yard--they would surely smell those bunnies. So, I got the bunnies and put them in a cage on my screened porch and called the wildlife center--and I was told that I should release them (which I did).
