It really depends on how old it is and it's size.
It should be returned to the exact place where it was found, the mother will find it. Contrary to popular beliefs, animals will NOT reject their young because of "human touch".

I had a bunny nest in my yard my dog found. She didn't hurt the babies but was curious. After getting my dog away, I went online and did some research. Baby bunnies are not like other mammals that need to be fed every few hours. They can go 12 hours without being fed. The mother will usually show up at dawn and at dusk to feed and then leave. So please leave the bunny where it was found and the mama will come back and take care of it. In my case I would see the mother came in around sunset. I just kept my dog in at that time. Actually my dog became protective of he nest. It was near the age of my yard and if a neighbor got too close she start barking at them.
