I found this rabbit in my driveway today. It is definitely a pet, very friendly and obviously not the colors of a wild rabbit. I'm working on finding where it came from, but having no luck so far and it's looking like it might be at my house at least overnight. I know they have very specific diet needs and need food constantly, but I work from home and won't be able to leave my house for another 8 hours to go buy it proper food. So I'm wondering what I can safely feed it until then. So far I gave it a little bit of cucumber, raw oats, and apple. I read that those are safe in small quantities, so I don't want to give too much. Is there anything else that is a common household food that I can feed for the next 8 hours until I get it some pellets and hay?
Any other advice is appreciated too. I do NOT want to keep it, but I want to care for it properly while it's in my house (hopefully no longer than another day or two.)
UPDATE: I went around my neighborhood yesterday and nobody knew where the bunny came from, but one of my neighbors luckily had a huge rabbit cage they didn't need anymore, so they gave me that. I was able to go after work to get some pellets and a bunch of hay. No luck finding anybody I know who wants a rabbit, but I've reached out to a few local rescues. Bunny is eating and pooping great, and seems to really like my dogs lol. Thanks so much to everybody for all the advice!
