I would.

i would too. try to handle them as little as possible. put them in a safe secure spot. return them when its safe and a few hours before the mom usually returns. the smell of humans on animals, is a myth, and most animals will return for their young. just keep watch..you may end up having to nursemaid some wild babies. dont expect them to grow up to be pets.

No. if the mother comes back and finds the babies gone, it will never return again. Then you will have to buy pet milk and a feeder from a pet store and feed them yourself. Also you will have cocoa-puffs all over the floors in your house : )

No, leave them for the mother to take care of them. If she doesn't find them, they won't get their dinner and since they only get fed once or twice a day, they will miss their meal and you will have to feed them, in essence adopting them. It's not easy raising a litter of rabbits yourself. They could even die under your care. SO better to leave them.

yes,,but put gloves on so they do not get your scent on them or the mother could reject them
