Here's why:
* It's illegal in most places. There are strict laws about handling wildlife.
* You could harm the animal. Baby rabbits have very specific needs that can be difficult to meet.
* You could be putting yourself at risk. Wild animals can carry diseases.
What to do instead:
1. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator. They are trained professionals who can properly care for injured or orphaned animals. You can find one through the Humane Society, a local animal shelter, or online.
2. Keep a safe distance. Do not touch the baby rabbit. Observe it from a distance to make sure it's not injured.
3. If the baby rabbit is in immediate danger (e.g., in the middle of a road), gently relocate it to a safe place nearby. This is best done with gloves.
The best way to help a baby rabbit is to leave it to the experts. They have the knowledge and resources to give it the best chance of survival.
