I am hand raising a baby bunny that was born on 8-2-2011. "Jessica" had a hard time raising them, 4 died within the first day another died the next. The last baby I took from her hutch and it's been 10 days since I've had her. She eats well (aspirated once but I quickly helped her) she's been eating kmr with heavy cream added 2x a day until her stomach is full (between 15-25ml a day) she looks small to me, sometimes is dehydrated (but after eating plumps up) but she still doesn't seem right...

my rabbit had just had bunnys too but the mother rabbit has no milk wat do i do plz reply asap thank u :)

[bunnycentral]

@TheFavoriteLover88 : Mommy rabbits do not nurse for the first 24 hours. If it is still the first day do not worry. She should have milk by the next day. If she will not nurse then your vet can give her an oxotocin shot to stimulate nursing. Send me a private message with your email and I can give you more tips.

[iluvmytigber]

awe such a cute little baby! your mama bunny is really pretty to and gave birth to some pretty babies!:)

[bunnycentral]

@iluvmytigber : Thank you! Since we show rabbits our rabbits are really pretty and healthy.

My rabbit has babies now, too... but she pushed them out of their nest corner and then stopped feeding them ! so now i guess I have to raise them, but I read a lot about it and it seems to be REALLY difficult to get them through, when the mother is completely refusing to get near them, I tried...

And now I bought this special milk powder, but they don't want the new milk ! How can I "force" them to eat? It's not like they have any other choice! :(

[bunnycentral]

@JoanaMara : Perhaps try to give mama special treats in the back of the nest box while you her over the babies. Usually after they latch on she gets a flood of "happy" hormones and she likes the suckling. You may need to gently hold her shoulders until she gets to experience this and get that nurturing hormone. A minute should do it. I make sure she has a yummy snack by her head so that gets her attention and she wants to be there. They only feed once a day.

[lilyandjack]

Momma is very pretty.

[nibbles87400]

but some times it isen't good if you and the rabbit a good freinds she migth let you touch them

[bunnycentral]

Yes, in a wild or un-tame rabbit it is good not to touch them. Domesticated pets are different.

[runescape4344]

no its all the same.

when you snatched that baby from under the mothers nose she went for you.

dumb bitch i wonna reply!!!!!!!!

or i will close down this video myself!

[fuzzielogic2002]

The rabbit didn't "go" for the hand. The rabbit was sniffing the hand. Just like a cat or dog would do if you were to pick up a baby. They wanna know who you are.

[xXxBueatyByHaileyxXx]

@runescape4344 that rabbit was demesticated it was smelling there sent it wasnt going to bite them

[nibbles87400]

are you mad if you touch the babies the mum will not want them

[bunnycentral]

That is true in the wild but it is not true in domestic bunnies that are raised by moms that know the handler. I've been doing it for 15 years. I touch and handle all my babies every day to be sure they are getting enough milk, to check their eyes and to get them accustomed to handling. My rabbits are all comfortable with me and with guests who visit. Georgia
