Hi i rescued a little of 6 baby bunnies that are less then a week. my stupid dog killed their momma and almost got to them. what do i feed them if anyone know? and is it ok for them to eat kitten milk replacer? thanks

I sent my bunnies to a rehabber.

They are very difficult to raise. They go into shock quickly. Try calling a wild life rescue. They may be able to help. Good luck. Poor bunnies.

unless they are extremely small they will be ok on their own. They starting eating at a early age. They do go in to shock and die easily. I have raised a couple with sucess using pet formula and a small baby bottle. Must keep them in a quiet place and give them a place to hide and don't handle them too much.

I agree with the others. They are very difficult to raise. The dog attack stress and losing their mom adds to the difficulty.

/and I sigh. aren't they so beautiful tiny little perfect bunnies.

Good luck if you try to raise them and don't bee disappointed if the perrish. Baby bunnies ar VERY hard to raise.

If you can get them to a wildlife sanctuary, I would do so asap.

i feed them goats milk and vanilla flavored yogart. i mix them together and put it in the microwave for like 20 sec, until warm not hot, then get my eye droper and feed them. yes i hold them still so they will eat if not the just go exploring

i feed twice a day, once at 8 am and then again at 6 pm just like a rabbit mom

BarnBum · 07-14-2008, 02:55 PM

GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So cute too

horsegirl4 · 07-14-2008, 03:03 PM

thanks and i still go all 6 and now they like to play with my lion head bunny named ironicly Bunny

i couldnt think of a name so it stuck

horsegirl4 · 07-15-2008, 10:59 AM

the runt of the litter pasted last night

he was the one my dog got out of the nest and the last one to do anything. i just thought you guys would want to know

Iwasbornonahorse · 07-15-2008, 05:20 PM

You don't plan to keep them...?

Crookedblaze · 07-15-2008, 05:31 PM

Awww. They are soo cute.

There were some baby bunnies in the hay that I found about a month ago, but they went into shock and died

I bet you could probably place them in homes if they are really sweet.
