This rabbit has been in my back yard for a week now. It's -1 degrees outside with -20 degree windchill. It's nibbles at the snow and I don't know where it came from. It stays there all day and all night and I don't know what to do because it's really cold outside.

Temperatures this low are hard for wildlife. But apparently the rabbit has found sufficient shelter and food in your yard. If it has lasted a week, it's probably doing ok. Though I'm sure it is wishing for warmer weather, same as us.
