Found a baby bunny right outside my front door. I'm not sure what to do 🙁 I don't want to move it incase the mom comes back? But this seems like an odd place to be, the steps are pretty big to get here. Any suggestions on what todo?
Update: we left the bunny alone, and it returned to the garden 🙂 we also found a nest that we of course have not touched
Thanks for the input!

Please don’t touch or move it. It will be fine!
Yes it is and big enough to be on its own. If it’s not injured which it doesn’t appear to be just leave it be. Mom bun we’ll check on her babies in the evening and early morning
If u have any pets make sure they dont get him
“You can’t see me!”
It’s an adult bunny, it’s important to leave him be 🙂
Peek-a-boo little bun. 😄
It’s so roumd
Isn’t this a domestic rabbit outdoors ? This is not acting like a wild rabbit at all. My friend has the same rabbit indoors. I wonder if this rabbit was left behind from Easter. If that’s the case, it won’t survive outdoors.
I feel it went to the house because it noticed familiarity and humans. Wild rabbits do not behave like this. Nor are they this well fed.
thank you for not touching it before posting about it!!!!!!!
awhhh
Scary hoom
Ball of bun
Juvenile fresh out the nest. It’s learning to adult and not in danger, just leave it be.
As others have said, this one’s old enough to be on his own. As a rule of thumb, if a wild rabbit is at least the size of a tennis ball, has no injuries and has not been inside the mouth of a cat or dog — no need for intervention. In fact, pet stores are regularly running out of kitten milk replacer because people insist on bottle-feeding rabbits that are old enough to fend for themselves…or that still need their mother, except she’s likely around. She nurses her babies twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, other than that she doesn’t visit the nest to avoid directing predators to it.
Wild bun, let it be, it’s taken momentary shelter there and it’ll move on when it feels safe if it hasn’t already
Potentially the most circular bunny I’ve seen
