Best Answer

A domestic rabbit may be able to survive in the wild for a short period of time. But generally no they cannot survive the wild. They do not have the instincts needed. They do not know how to escape predators or survive winters. A domestic rabbit would not last too long in the wild.

What happens when you touch a wild rabbits?

If you want to release your domestic rabbit to the wild, lets say, its called a one way death trip. The rabbit doesn't know how to survive on its own because it usually eats pellets, not grass. The rabbit will die of malnutrition and their teeth will grow so large it will cut the roof of the mouth. Your killing your innocent rabbit in a slow suffering path of death. If you lost it in the wild, for a few days, it might be okay! There was a park in Texas with lots of ex-pet rabbits. Suppose the weather and foliage helped them out. However, domestic rabbits are pretty tender animals and don't have the skills they need to protect them from predators. I once returned a rabbit to the pet store--she was unsafe to have around since she was a seriously mad rabbit.
