Are wild baby rabbits good pets?

Answer 1

NO! the are wild and completely different to domestic rabbits, they have a different diet and living style and could have a disease, also if you keep them they can become sick and die.. it is best to release them!

Answer 2

Although it's common to think of them this way, rabbits are not really the best choice for a pet for children. Here's some reasons why:

• Rabbits are delicate: they can get injured easily, and they can get scared easily; also, ongoing stress can lead to illness (things like loud noises, grabby hands, general chaos -- normal things in many houses with children)
• Rabbits require a specialized diet, specialized habitat, and specialized vet care -- it can take a lot of work to research and prepare for these things, so the parents will have to do a lot of the initial work
• Rabbits don't often like to be held, picked up, or closely cuddled, but children are naturally drawn to do these things
• Rabbits require close attention every single day -- even when the child has lots of homework, or skating lessons
• Rabbits have a long lifespan, 8-12 years, but some children quickly grow tired of things after awhile
• Rabbits are often awake and active overnight, so a child's bedroom (or anyone's bedroom) isn't a great place to keep them

That said, every child and household is different (not to mention: every rabbit!). If you're considering a pet for a child, consider not only the care and behaviour of the pet, but also the behaviour, temperament, and schedule of the child. Maybe a rabbit and your child is a perfect fit! Rabbits can be great pets for kids! It really depends on the kid.

Before you get your child a rabbit, discuss with him or her all the facts of cleaning and feeding and so on.
