As difficult as it seems the best choice is to leave the baby alone. The mother is likely nearby but wont come to it while you are there. If it is very badly injured your only choices are to take it to a vet and then find an animal rehab centre willing to care for it, or again leave it where it is. It seems hard to do, but remind yourself that it is in the animals best interest. Good luck.

My heart goes out to you. It is a horrible feeling to have accidentally injured an animal... particularly a baby. If the rabbit's eyes are open, it is old enough to be independent. If it's injuries are not too bad, it will likely recover on its own... and will do better without the stress of being in captivity. If it is terribly injured, the kindest thing is to get someone to help you put it out of its misery. I know it is tough, but sometimes it is in the animal's best interests. Is there a neighbour or relative or friend you can call on, if this seems to be the best alternative?

Aww, That is so sad. I would take Maggie's advice and take it to a vet. Maybe there is something they can do to help it. Taking it to a neighbour or friend in the area also sounds like a good alternative plan to me. Good luck to you and the baby bunny.

thank you for the advice but i made the mistake and touched it and me and my friend decided it looked like it has a broken leg

Please try and find a rehab centre for the bunny. It is for your sake as well as the rabbits, babies taken from the wild often die and I want to spare you the grief. Just so you know, it isn't true that a mother animal will reject her young if it has been handled by humans. It is a myth that wildlife centres have been trying to dispel for some time. That being said a bunny with a broken leg makes easy prey. Try googling for a rehab centre in your area.

My daughter found a bunny once it was injured ,she had trouble finding a vet no one wanted to treat a wild animal,they put it to sleep socked her 100 dollars.

Over the years I have raised a number of wild bunnies that were injured while we were haying. (Usually it was severed feet.) The majority of them lived to young adulthood, and I am sure were handicapped, making them easy prey when we let them loose. The thing most people do not realize about wild rabbits is that they produce large, frequent litters because of the risks they have in reaching adulthood, and that the majority of them do not live past two or three years.
