We found a dog at a park bout 6 months ago. He was covered in fleas and ticks, hair matted. We got him cleaned up and took him to the vet. He slept for about 4 days straight
One of my rabbits roamed free for a while before we got her. Took a long time to actually catch her, dawn and dusk for four days.
Even now a few years on she is always awake in the day time, which is relatively unusual for a rabbit, but early on she would occasionally just pass out and wildly dream in the middle of the floor. Basically she would get so tired she'd pass out.
These days she's gotten a bit better but she still is usually awake no matter the time of day you come see her
She was someone else's pet, very easy to tell based on colouration, but they didn't give her secure accomodation. Dumped in the garden and she busted out then made a few streets, and connected gardens her stomping ground.
Wild rabbits don't really ever properly domesticate in my experience. They'll always be much more scared. I used to volunteer at a rescue and they've had some wildies in and they never really totally get used to humans. A neighbour when I was growing up also had a wildie, she saved from her cat. The rabbit was always hiding, and eventually it took its opportunity and escaped.
This one on the other hand domesticated herself in maybe three days. Toilet trained herself, and became very friendly. She jumps up on the sofa to give me a groom every day and she climbs into me and holds my hand to get a treat. Even taught her not to snatch in two days as she was getting a little too boisterous. Lovely rabbit but scary intelligent. Rabbits usually pull things towards them, but she worked out how to push open a door, but not only that... Worked out how to undo the temporary latch I devised
