Rabbits can make really great pets but they're not "common sense" pets: you have to spend time learning about their care and behaviour, setting up an appropriate habitat, and finding nearby vets who treat rabbits (many vets don't; and some who do really shouldn't because they don't know enough about rabbits to treat them safely). See the related questions below for detailed info and helpful links!

∙ 14y agoOnly if you can get catch it, but be careful they can have heart attacks. They also might have worms!!!!!
It is very unwise to catch and try to domesticate a wild rabbit. Wild rabbits will usually die in captivity because they are unable to graze on clover, grass and other vegetation. They will not typically eat the type of rabbit pellets you buy at a pet food store. They are also more susceptible to human germs. Please remember that these rabbits are meant to live free. If you want a rabbit go to a pet store or a farm auction and buy one.

∙ 14y agoNo, I know you wanna keep them but bunnies surviving in CAPTIVITY is a rare thing and very hard and if you feel responsible because you dog/cat destroyed the nest you need to dig a new one about 3" deep and put dry grass and any of the mothers fur you can find. (The nest can be as far as 10' away from the original site)

∙ 11y agoNo! I think its illegal in most places. And besides its cruel to keep a wild bunny. If you really loved the animal you would let it go. Think about it. The rabbit has a family. What if you were the rabbit? DONT keep it! Release it immeidiatly!

∙ 11y agoActully I'm pretty sure it's illegal most places in the US and possibly other countries and i don't think it would get use to being handled and make a good pet. The stress could also kill it.

∙ 13y agoYes, domestic rabbits can be pets but if you got that kit from the wild, you need a special permit to own one.

∙ 11y agoNo, adult wild rabbit would eventually kill himself running into walls of the place you are keeping him. It could also bite you if he is extremely provoked.

Can you keep a hare in Queensland?
No. Rabbits are banned as pets in Queensland as they pose too great a risk to the environment through the actions of irresponsible pet owners who happily abandon their pets out in the bush. Rabbit licences are also not issued for educational purposes. There is no need for a school to keep a pet rabbit when a guinea pig will do just as well. That means you cannot get a licence to keep rabbits in Queensland. Exceptions may be made for certain animal sanctuaries, but some of these keep rabbits illegally - or out of ignorance - because it is too difficult for them to obtain the necessary permission. Fines are quite high and it is not worth the risk.
