If you keep a rabbit that is wild and you had it since its eyes were closed and just born if you let it go will it be able to finds its food and stay alive?

No. Just like domestic rabbits that are raised in human company, a wild rabbit that is raised outside of the wild will not know what to eat, where to look for food, or how to hide from predators, where to seek shelter and no warren to support it during the cold winter months.When pet rabbits are abandoned (which is illegal in many U.S. states, by the way), they rarely live more than 24 hours on their own, let alone an entire week. A wild rabbit may have wild instincts, but in an unfamiliar environment it knows nothing about it will be as helpless as any other abandoned rabbit.

Is it a wrong thing to release a rabbit which you have taken care of in the park?

Releasing a domesticated rabbit into a park can be problematic, as it may not survive in the wild due to a lack of survival skills, potential predation, and exposure to diseases. Additionally, it can disrupt local ecosystems and lead to overpopulation if the rabbit breeds with wild rabbits. It's generally better to find a suitable home or animal rescue for the rabbit instead of releasing it into 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.
