Hey /b/ I need animal advice! I found a wild bunny!
He let me pet him and when I picked him up, I noticed his leg was broken. Thats probably why he let me touch him.
Heres my question, am I going to catch a disease for petting him? I brought him home and now he's just hopping around my room as I type this. Should I give him a bath? How do I wash him?
No bath. He needs food and water... no ice berg lettuce. He needs mixed greens. Pellets. And a sweet name like Commander Bun Bun
>>767784920
I love that name. Im gunna use it :)
However, Commander Bun Bun has fleas, how do I keep him clean, and fleas out of my house?

Info, bro. My. Rother rescued a rabbit... had him for 8 years. Sergeant carrots was awesome. Some quick google searches will help... also post pic
A broken leg can be extremely serious. You'll really want to find a small animal vet as soon as possible.
Tell them that you got it from a breeder. Many will not treat wild animals.

Meet Commander Bun Bun. (Or Paul, haven't decided on a name yet)
Sorry for the shit quality.

>Sergeant Carrots
Those names.

What harm would it be to just let him hop around with his broken leg? According to my grandpa, it's been broken for a while and it doesn't seem to effect him too much.

How do you know it's broken? Bones don't just stay broken for a long time.

It just looks retarded. Ill take a pic of his leg.
>>767784795
good work catching dinner. i suggest stew.
>>767786825
+1 and add carrots
>>767786825
Was thinking about it, but I empathize with it because of its broken leg. I wanna befriend it instead of eating it. If it was a normal rabbit and I caught it, I'd let it go sooner or later or ask some family members to help me skin it.
But I want to nurture this rabbit back to health then let it go so it has a chance in the wild :) Hes a cutie pie and is already comfortable with me.

Heres a clear picture of its retard leg.
>>767787377
And another
That leg looks wrong. I was to get help with wildlife from an exotic animals vet. Google exactly what’s best to feed him. He’s cute
>>767787346
weak
>>767784795
Type wildlife rescue into Google map's and take him to the nearest one.
>>767787654
I'd be weak to eat him. Imma provider, a care-giver c: I create life and improve it.

Closest one is 30 miles away apparently. Fuck that, hes my nigga now.

Oops, wrong post to reply to.

>>767787401
yeah dude that thing is probably gonna die. its probably in pain, too
>>767787401
That is kinda shocking. It may have broken and then healed badly. It's surprising that it lived.
But yes it's still very serious. Don't worry about it hopping around now but I'd still get it to a vet as soon as possible. Even healed the leg can lose circulation and become necrotic, or re-break and cause an embolism, and it's almost certainly in pain.
>>767788618
>>767788193
Anything I can do to confirm it's in pain and help relieve it?
Also, I have my chihuahua near it, all she does is sniff the bunny and he doesn't seem bothered by my dog. Should I still seperate the bunny and my dog? Or can they stay buddies lol
>>767789172
not really
also if they arent scared and both can move they are fine
I found a wild rabbit a year ago and still have it to this day. I green texted oc story and turned out to be an amazing pet.
>>767789172
Very little. Rabbits instinctively hide their suffering so that predators don't know they're lame. The best thing you can do for this rabbit is take it to a small animal vet as soon as possible. They generally aren't expensive.
Rabbits and dogs can learn to get along but I would monitor them and separate them if there are any signs of aggression, especially with the rabbit being lame.
I had a client who had two rabbits and one very friendly and peaceful, elderly glen of imaal terrier. They thought everything was fine until one day they come home and both rabbits are torn to pieces. Do not underestimate the predator instinct.
>>767789642
Though I will say raising it has its difficultys with feeding and survivability
>>767789739
>terrier
>chihuahua
i think he's fine lol. I'd be more worried about the dog
>>767790492
Why would you be worried about my dog?
>>767790527
from the bunny kicking its ass
>>767790986
kek
>>767790986
It could bite its nose off lol
Surprised it’s not all porn now
Cute bunny thread op
>>767791366
You rang?
>>767791366
>>767784795
no disease treat him well
>>767791671
>>767791834
Damnit guys
I think Commander Bun Bun deserves a female mate, and if he is indeed in pain, a good ol’ bunny bop might do him some good. It might take his mind off the pain for a moment. Food & water, small animal vet, and a girlfriend.
>>767784795
Post a picture of the bunny faggot
>>767792090
With time stamp
>>767789642
If you screenshotted the story post that shit
Bunnies can drop dead due to stress, especially wild ones. Unless you bring it to a vet you're going to have a dead bunny soon. Especially because it's in obvious discomfort
Good luck man. Cute bunny.
Dis is my bun. Her name is Pancake.
>>767793106
Cute bun. Provide timestamp
Rabbits are actually shitty pets. Even the tame ones piss and shit everywhere, and chew the shit out of everything they can clamp their teeth on. The males will hump anything vaguely bunny-sized constantly, which is funny for a day or two, but becomes fairly disgusting after your foot has been bunny fucked 10 or 15 times in an afternoon.
Rabbits are raised as a cheap source of meat. If you're not going to eat it or let it go, it will end up in an outdoor cage and forgotten about.
Tame rats are far more interesting and intelligent.
OP here,
>left this thread because I thought it was going to die.
>forgot to close tab
>come back 20 minutes later
>rabbit porn
God damnit /b/ i love you
>>767792681
>because it's in obvious discomfort
Interesting, what makes you say that? He seems surprisingly chill, he even cuddled next to me for a little bit.
>>767793220
>>767793220
Negative ghostrider, pancake is sleeping and so is my gf. Im not going to wake them up to take a shitty picture in the middle of the night. Sorry fam. Have more pictures of our buns. This is Cadburry snuggling with my gf while she does studd for class
Please, please take it to the vet. It needs help. Seriously .
>>767789746
fuck
those eyes
What do you feed him?
>>767784795
Honestly the chances of a good recovery from a broken leg are pretty slim, chanes are it will never heal quite straight and he'll always have a (somewhat) croocked leg. This is just FYI. It's not in any way a problem if you don't plan to release him after his leg has recovered. I'm just passing along information from personal experience with a baby hare with a broken leg.
>>767784795
you're probably gonna want a cage for it asap
thats a fuzzy lil poop machine
