It is best to use kitten formula. I am not sure if they can tolerate the lactose in regular cow's milk. Use goat milk or kitten formula. Best of luck.

Hey Xined. I don't know your real name, so I'm sorry for saying Xined, haha. I recently rescued a baby rabbit that my cat got. It has a slit in it's throat, and a scratch on its head. I'm trying to help it out, and cover up the cuts. I feed him every 2 hours, but I don't know when he's full. The mother is gone, obviously. Could you give me a tip on how I would know when he's full? He looks like the rabbit in part one, but he has hair. I hope he survives. Thanks, Xined! - Cole

@CPization Oh wow...any injury from a cat will likely cause the rabbit to die within 48 hours due to the high concentration of bacteria in the cats mouth. You can tell the kit is full by a nice tight round belly. Good luck.

how many tsps or onzes do i need to give them i have two day old bunnies i need help thanx first time idk much about them please let me know iam how often they need to feed  thanx

I usually feed about every 2-3 hours. I feed slowly with the syringe but give the kit as much as he/she will eat. They will usually fall asleep when full, and you should notice the belly roundness. I don't usually count oz. Hope this helps.

room temperature or a little warm is good.

hey, do you think you could help me? my mom found a baby rabbit, what the heck do we feed it?

[FonzeeLove]

I need help. My baby rabbits are 6 days old, and while one is big, the other is small. The other has a full belly and no wrinkly skin. And the others belly isn't so full and does have wrinkly skin. Every morning he is out out the nest box. Idk what to do. Someone please help me. They are dwarf holland Lops, 6 days old today. Only 2.

After i feed the milk, what are somethings that i have to do and make sure so that nothing bad will happen.

To aid in digestion. If you forget this important step, your bunnies will likely die a painful death. :( Be sure to keep them warm, and use towels, sweaters, or even stuffed animals to help the bunnies burrow into.

I rescued four baby bunnies (the neighbors dog killed the mom). We've had them for three days now, and they're doing great. Ours are around a week old, and this is what I reccomend. Buy a can of kitten milk, and a kitten bottle. (I found both at Walmart, Hartz brand, for around $5 total.) Feed the rabbits every three to four hours, as much formula as they'll eat. Be sure to feed them laying down, so they don't asperate. Also, BE SURE to rub their lower stomach, below the ribs, after feeding...

if you bottle fed the babies when the mom died would they make it or would they all die if you tried to feed them on kitten formula or would they be scrony and not makeit and how many hours do you have to get up to feed them like every 2 hours or how long.
