Where should i let go of my rabbit? I feel bad it is in a small cage and I wanted to set it free.?

I live in Miami, fl and i have seen some wild in the everglades, should i let it go there?Where should i let go of my rabbit? I feel bad it is in a small cage and I wanted to set it free.?
I would not let it go in the wild. Your rabbit is used to having its food given to him. It would not know how to go and hunt for food. It would also be a good prey for othre animals. I would suggest that you look om the internet to see if you can find a local zoo or a petting farm in your area where you can take the pet. Some animal shelters take rabbits and other pets. I would just hate for the rabbit to die after you have taken care of it for such a long time.Where should i let go of my rabbit? I feel bad it is in a small cage and I wanted to set it free.?
It's illegal to release a domesticated animal into the wild.


Especially in a protected area like the Everglades.





Please contact a rabbit rescue group, they will take him and find him a new home.
if it is a domestic pet letting it go would be a big mistake! i would buy a bigger cage and let it out of the cage for play time as much as you can.if you can not i would recommend placing an ad in the classifieds to give the bunny away to someone who wants it and can care for it.


if it is a wild rabbit and has been used to the great out doors(has survival skills) i would take it to a wild life rehabilitation. they will know they best place to set it free. the everglades is by far not the right place to set a rabbit free unless you are wanting it to be lunch for an alligator! please either find it a new home or take it to a rehabilitation center!!
Please do not set your pet rabbit free! This would be far more cruel than keeping him/her in a small cage. He/she will most definitely die if released into the wild. Please do the right thing and find a responsible animal shelter/animal adoption service that can help find your rabbit a new home. Remember that you are responsible for this little animal's well being/life.
Don't let it go.


It will be dead within hours from predators, or the heat.





Take it to the SPCA or animal control. It will be taken care of, and even if it doesn't find a home, it will die painlessly rather than be hunted and eaten.





Also, rabbits can have sicknesses that can pass to the wild population. Do you want to be responsible for harming the eco-system in your area?
No you should not! Once an animal has been domesticated it should never be let go. it is not fair to the animal as they are not prepared to survive on their own. It is also not good for the environment if it is not native to the area. If you no longer wish to care for it take it to your local humane society for adoption, place and add in your local paper, on line, or find out if there is a local rabbit rescue society that can take it in.
No, your rabbit is a tame animal now, it doesn't have the instincts needed to find food and escape predators. It's food comes in a bowl each day, it does not know how to find it's own food and it would just freeze up in the event of a predator attack and be killed. What you need to do if you feel bad about it being in the small cage is to buy or build it a bigger one and let it run around in your room for a while each day.
Not only is it cruel to do release your domestic pet into the wild, it is illegal.





';Laws have been enacted to safeguard our native wildlife heritage from problems caused by domestic animals. Florida Statute 372.265 prohibits the release of animals into the wild that are not native to Florida. The purpose of this statute is to protect Florida's native wildlife from disease, destruction, and competition by the release of non-native animals.


Strictly interpreted, this statute requires all domestic animals to be kept in some type of confinement where they cannot wander from the owner's immediate property into wild habitats or public waters.';

Dont you dare, that is illeagal. In miami there is a humane society that will take your rabbit. but if you let it go it will NOT survive. Contact your local humane society they can help you Hope it helps.
No. Please find a home for it. You can go to a Petco or Petsmart and they will find a home for you. Do not release it! Even if it does find food and survive, it will not be welcomed by the rabbits who already live there. Find it a home.
let your rabbit go inside your house thats what i do with owers he loves the room
its really your choice your just like me i dont wanna let any animals go but its your choice choose wisely!
