I carried it in my hands back to my apartment. The rabbit relaxed a lot when I would pet it on the head, and carrying it in my hands was a very pleasant experience. It is very warm and nice. When I got back to my apartment, I gently set it down in my shower after corking the drain so it wouldn't fall down. Then, I set a plate of water out to drink. I also cooked some soy beans (edamame) which I ate most of, and tried to feed the rabbit some of. If it ate any, it was such a small amount I couldn't tell.
Even though I understand that rabbits are very plentiful, and that the genetics which would drive a baby rabbit to be hopping around in the street likely shouldn't be selected for in Santa Fe, I wanted to help it. Hopefully bringing it out of the street, trying to give it food and water, and putting it in a little garden area at my place in Santa Fe actually accomplished that.
I think I would like to get a pet rabbit someday when I'll be around my house enough to take good care of it.
Maybe I will see this rabbit around my place in Santa Fe from now on.

We had a small rabbit like that for a while. My husband saw the mom and one of the other babies get ate by a snake and he caught the other baby and brought it home. He built a cage for it and we kept it for a about a month before we turned it lose. We would see it around the property every once in a while.

I think you should fatten it up and then make a tasty meal out of it. Just don't get attached, or it will be a sad, tasty meal. Ha!
