[title] Know how to choose the right rabbits. [step] It is extremely important for a wild rabbit to help her kits make the right choices for them. If you find a nest of bunnies leave them alone. If it is obvious that they need help (the mother is dead on the road, for instance), you will need to take them to a vet or wildlife rehabilitator. This is because this rabbit considers the presence of predators as a distraction. If a mother rabbit continues to leave her nest during the day then she may become overtly insecure. Indeed, she has prevented any adult rabbits in the garden from digging into their nest. If you live in a fully-wooded area or in large open spaces, such as a forest, large enough to accommodate two or three rabbits, you should really be worried about her.
