Don't touch me!

This is a baby hare.

Please, please leave them alone. They are left unattended all day in a field or scrubby corner by their mum. This is totally normal.

Please do not move them, touch them or mess with them in any way.

They are not born in a nest and they are pretty much always found just by themselves, minding their own business. There will be no mother, and no other siblings.

Please just walk away.

They are not easy to handrear, they are not better off with us, they need to be left alone wherever you found them!

The second picture is a baby rabbit. If you find one of these unattended on the ground, please take it to your local wildlife centre.

This is a baby hare. It will be left unattended by mum. Please leave it alone.

This is a baby rabbit. It should not be out on its own.
