* Mom is the best source of food: Baby rabbits (called kits) get all the nutrition they need from their mother's milk.
* Human food can be harmful: Foods meant for humans can be toxic to baby rabbits.
* You can disrupt their natural behavior: If you interfere with the kits, their mother might abandon them, leaving them vulnerable.
What to do if you find a baby rabbit:
1. Observe from a distance: If the baby is alone, it's best to watch from afar and make sure the mother is nearby. She will likely return to feed her kits.
2. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator: If you are certain the baby is orphaned, or if it is injured or in danger, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or animal shelter. They are trained to care for baby rabbits and will give them the proper food and care.
It's important to remember that wild animals are best left in their natural habitat.
