>That address is the House Rabbit Society in the USA

>If you find abandoned wild rabbits in the UK, contact

>In Australia people are not supposed to keep wild
>rabbits
>as pets but if you find a sick or abandoned wild baby
>or adult rabbit it is up to you what you do with it.
>If it is sick, take the rabbit to the vet. If the

>resemble the Agouti colour in domestic rabbits (there

>Agouti coloured pet rabbit that just happens to look
>like a wild rabbit (who is to say it isn't?).

>Don't feed any rabbits iceberg lettuce (the cheap round
>type of lettuce) as this can cause diarrhea and
