You cannot raise a wild bunny. Wild rabbits do NOT adjust to life in captivity. If you want a bunny, please get a domestic one.When is the right age for a baby rabbit to be taken into a household as a pet?and what size?
well i don't think its a good idea to raise a wild bunny, they aren't suited for domestic life. they have and carry diseases even if they have been pulled away from there parents, it gets passed down through there genes. i would suggest a domestic bunny, but if you want to raise a wild bunny i suppose it would have the same rules as a normal bunny, get on the net and look it up, or ask a veterinarian they should have some answers... good luck and happy bunnying... lol
As a breeder, I would strongly beg you to please not try to trap a poor wild bunny, however, you asked the question, and so I must provide truthful information for you. Keep in mind that most people come to care for wild bunnies by accidently disturbing a nest of kits. If you truly want to undertake the enormous and extremely time-consuming project of trying to domesticate a wild bunny, you want to get one when it is as young as possible. Rabbits in the wild are usually weaned from their mother's milk between the 3rd and 4th week of life. The closer to that mark that you can get, the better. This is because the younger the kit is, the more trusting it will be to humans.





Surprisingly, raising wild rabbits is about the same as raising domestic ones. Keep them in the house. Put young bunnies (under 4 weeks of age) in a 2 sq ft cardboard box that has very high sides. Put some hay in it that they can either hide under or lay on top of.





Judging their age is important. Rabbits eyes come open at about 10 or 11 days after birth. Hand feed them until they are 14 days old. They will start eating on their own - hay, carrots, and rabbit pellets at 14 days.





If you are going to release them back to the wild, they should be released when they are 4-6 weeks old. Don't keep wild rabbits together after they are 2 months old - they will tear each other apart. Do not mix wild rabbits with domestic rabbits. You could spread parasites and diseases to your domestic rabbits.





If the bunnies you find are really young, you will have to force feed them with an eyedropper. Since rabbits are lactose intolerant, it is best to feed them Pedialyte. Bring the Pedialyte to a lukewarm temperature (where it feels neither warm nor cold) and feed them as much as they will take in. When they are up to 2 weeks old, they don't consume much - about 1 eyedropper full per day. You only have to feed them once or twice per day, but make sure they get enough or they will waste away.





When they start eating at about 2 weeks, they will eat alfalfa hay, fresh grass (no pesticides!), dark leafy green lettuces (such as Romaine--never give iceberg lettuce, it has no nutritional value), Arugula, Alfalfa, radish %26amp; clover sprouts, Basil, Beet greens (tops), Bok choy, Broccoli (mostly leaves/stems), Brussels sprouts, Carrot %26amp; carrot tops, Celery, Cilantro, Clover, Collard greens, Cucumber, Dandelion greens and flowers (no pesticides), Endive, Escarole, Green peppers, Mint, Mustard greens, Parsley, Pea pods (the flat edible kind), Peppermint leaves, Raddichio, Radish tops, Raspberry leaves, Watercress, Wheat grass, and rabbit pellets.





Baby wild rabbits are like domestic rabbits - they will not bite you and are safe to raise. They are really jumpy, though, and will try to escape whenever they get a chance. Not many people have been successful in domesticating wild rabbits. If you handle them daily, they may become more familiar with people and settle down. Remember that they scare easily and can run fast. They may possibly get hurt trying to get away from a dog or cat you have. This fright is nature's way to keep them safe in the wild.





If you do obtain a wild bunny, and ever feel like you're in over your head, please don't just release it. It will need to be re-trained on how to search for food. Wildlife rescuers are usually glad to take baby rabbits off your hands and make sure they are cared for in the proper way until they are released into the wild again.

Wild rabbits can not be taken into a household and raised as a pet - they will die - trust me I know a few people who have tried. It's just sad and cruel. If you would like to get a rabbit for a pet you can get a baby rabbit from a breeder at 6 weeks of age. Below is a site that list local breeders in your area. You can find out if any have babies due soon, then you could raise it.
