Hey all, new to the forum. My cat and two dogs were chasing a baby bunny in the yard this morning, and I scared them off and picked the little dear up. That's where it starts to get complicated, so I was hoping I could get some advice/input here.
I have no idea what type of rabbit he is. (I don't know he/she either,so I'm just going with he. ) I was thinking maybe a cottontail, but I really don't know. Here's a picture:

For years I've wanted a bunny, so when this little sweetie showed up,my first urge was to keep. But at the same time, he doesn't appear to be injured from when my dogs caught him, so I'd feel pretty bad about taking him from his natural home just because I'd like to have a bunny.
If I do end up keeping, what kind of vet treatments would he need? Basically I just worry about what's best for the rabbit. If it'd be better to take him back to where I found him and let him go, or if keeping him is ok. onder:
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
