Saved this sweetie from a cat in our apartment building's parking lot in Glen Allen. Seems to have an injured leg, but my partner thinks it may be feigning? It didn't fight me at all when I put it in our cat's pet carrier, and ate a bit of lettuce and banana from my hand.

Can anyone help me find this sweetie's owner? (My partner is posting on facebook.) If no luck, is anyone willing & able to adopt? Again it may have an injured leg; I'm not sure and all the places I've tried calling told us to take it to a specialty vet, which I will try to do, but not sure I'll make it before they close.

Any help would be appreciated, can respond here or email me at sneaketak at gmail, thank you!

Rabbits are prey animals. Prey animals don't feign injuries; that would be very dangerous for them. If it is acting injured at all, it most definitely is.

Thank you! I've been googling constantly since posting and feel more informed. He doesn't seem to be in pain, but I'm still worried and monitoring his leg.

We only gave him a bit of banana, though he wanted more lol. I made sure they weren't toxic, just wanted to make sure he had some kind of sustenance before we got him real food. He's currently munching on some timothy hay :)

Also, too much banana is really bad for rabbits. Be sure to Google any food before you give it to the rabbit.
