Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 You do have a point, Merinda - we are pretty much overrun with rabbits, too, but for some reason this little, teensy tinsy baby caught me. If it was an adult it wouldn't matter so much. I couldn't just put this baby outside to die - what if the mother hawk didn't find it and it just died for nothing? I know - I'm weird. lol Thanks, Cindy - Afternoon rabbit foster-mother, I'm not the person to talk to as far as rabbits are concerned. here in Australia they are a feral pest and MUST be euthanased if they come into care. I agree they are cute, cuddly & gorgeous, but are an absolute menace out in the bush. I would probably treat it with a baby formula - not cow's milk which tends to give a number of animals gastric - or Heinz High Protein Baby mix made into a slurry, If you put in a littel apple juice so that it is sweetish it might take that more readily. Keep it very quiet and away from interested children. Distress kills more animals than almost anything else. I've looked after native animals in the Sydney region for about 20 years so am relativley pragmatic as far the the food chain is concerned. The hawks also have young ones to feed... Good luck Regards Merinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
