A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.

UPDATE:

Thanks for the helpful tips guys.

There are no disease risks up here in Canada according to the vet.

They gave me herbivore critical care formula and I've been periodically feeding it.

I have several contact numbers for a wildlife rescue and care centers to see what it is about its leg.

Here is the little fella.

This guy was slowly dodging the water as I sprinkled my plants. I offered him legumes and a few peanuts and picked him up.

He's very scared, but getting used to the inside of my house.

His front right leg looks floppy, like snapped.

He puts it down but it doesn't look right.

Should I take him to the vet?

What could I give him to munch on?

Y'all need to dial down the empathy a wee bit. Let nature do it's thing, you don't need to personally care for and "help" every wild animal you come across that appears to be hurt.
 
take him to the vet. The question is depending on how long the healing process is, you might not be able to release him outside assuming he's a baby and still depends on parents. I don't know how bunny parenting is, but if they're dependent you might have to find him a home.

Oh fuck me, you may have given him gut stasis OP. Take him to the vet immediately, like tomorrow. Also was a really bad idea to pick him up.
 
You'll need to call your wild animal care rescue, wherever that is. In Oklahoma we have a wild animal rescue in Noble that will take in injured wild animals and rehabilitate them.

Baby rabbits are the hardest to care for as they have very specific dietery needs and will die if not attended to quickly.

Finish it quick and humanely. Hammer to the back of the head. Make sure you hit hard enough to make it instant.

What the fuck guys?

I'm just trying to help because I fucking want to. Keep the cynical out of here.

We're at the vet getting wildlife rehab centers info to go through the proper channels.

Give him a safe space where he can stay as immobile as possible while his wounds heal. If he has open sore use mild disinfectant to keep him from getting sick. Feed him quality rabbit specific nutritious food to boost immune system and improve recovery. Best of luck op. Thanks for looking out

do you plan to let this rabbit out in the wild after he heals up?

i hope not, would seem like a waste of time since he'll probably get destroyed by a bored cat within a day or two.

Tell that to the fucked up dreams I was having this morning. I was trying to kill an injured mouse, but every time I was going to bring the hammer down, his cartoon eyes would get BIG and he'd faint. Then when I picked him up he seemed to relax and find comfort in being held, so I couldn't crush him.

I went to go flush him down the toilet, but while the water was running, endlessly flushing, there was no way to get him in there because of the drowned Myna bird with its neck stuck down the drain.

Yeah, I don't know to think about it either :/

I think he's trying to snap its back? After you shoot a rabbit and its not completely dead you can smash its spine against a tree to instantly kill it. Maybe that guy's giving him the Heimlich or something.

No, he's killing it. That's from a documentary about Army Sapper School. They're teaching how to humanely kill animals for sustenance in that gif.

Edit: In hindsight, probably not the best attempt at humor either, so I apologize.
