Answer #1

Take your rabbit to the vet immediately if it has broken a bone.If your vet is not available, take the rabbit to an emergency clinic. Until the injury is taken care of by a professional vet, try to keep your rabbit from moving around.

Good luck !!

Answer #2

Leave it to nature. If you were not around nature would take care of this rabbit.

I love animals as much as the next guy, but face it, rabbits breed up a lot (I had about a dozen wild ones in my backyrd a few months ago). Several things would happen:

  1. The rabbit’s foot would heal by itself
  2. Some predator would eat the rabbit
  3. The rabbit’s foot would never heal and it would live a short life.

As much as people hate it, that’s why animal shelters kill pets. There is no way that they could indefinitely keep taking new pets forever. People always want to keep the young cute puppy, but forget about the wise older dog setting and waiting for a home.
