special care rabbit in Pennsylvania

[guineabeginner]

Hello, some one from my church has been taking care of some wild rabbits that lost their mother. Three of them did not survive, two grew up healthy and stong and she set one of them free to live in a protected brush area by her house, filled with other rabbits, but she ran into a problem with the other rabbit. Her son picked it up wrong, leaving room for the rabbit to jump straight from his hands, and that is just what the rabbit did. The rabbit hit the floor wrong, paralizing its back legs, so she can't release it now. She lives in Pennsylvania, and is looking for someone who will be able to take care of the rabbit, preferably a animal rescue, but if there are any individuals that could care for the rabbit, I'm sure she would give the rabbit to them. She has already called a rabbit rescue, but they haven't returned her phone call yet, and so she wanted me to look around for her. If anyone would be able to look after this wonderfull rabbit, please let me know.

The baby rabbits should have been given to a wild animal rehabilitation facility right away. People should not take in wild animals unless they know the proper procedures for doing so. Had the babies been given to a facility, the one would probably not be paralyzed right now. It might also be illegal to keep them as pets. I would have your friend call up her local wild animal rehab facility and see if they can take the rabbit. It's a wild animal so it should not be kept as a pet, and someone at a rehab might be able to do something for it. Good luck.

Oh, no, she had all of the information she needed, someone who used to work with animal rescue helped her to get the right formulas and everything, as for the rabbits dying, the man said this happens, there is a crucial stage in the rabbit's development he said that some just don't survive. As for the paralyzed rabbit, this was ignorance on her son's part, he should not have been handling the rabbit, becuase he did not know how, as I said, she is now trying to contact a animal rescue group that specializes in rabbits, I would just like to know, if there are any Pennsylvania people on this board that would happen to work at an animal rescue, and be able to take in the rabbit, should she not have any luck. So please everyone, only reply if you have useful information as to where this rabbit can go to be happy and healthy.
