Dr. Elliott, BVMS, MRCVS is a veterinarian with over 30 years of experience in veterinary surgery and companion animal practice. When I got "It became my last-minute briefing and helping guide."

The theory was that once handled, the baby has acquired human scent and the mother will automatically abandon it.That's not necessarily true. This morning I went out to my bunnies and found out my girl Ramona had made a nest. 2 died, though, and I feel horrible. I was thinking of these questions, and I've got the answers! Do you what this is due to? We are keeping Baby rabbits should remain with their mother until 8 weeks of age, to get the full benefits from her milk in building their strength and immunity. But it has cried and did some deep breathing where I think it stopped breathing. I didn’t know!! Also, start to introduce pellet food 2 weeks after the rabbits are born so they start to wean off of milk. I rubbed him and he Bagan to move and once warm he’s seems fine.Yes, once it’s warmed up it’s best returned to mom.If they are warm to the touch and still completely unresponsive they won’t come back.Hi there, My female bunny Isabella has had a litter of baby bunnies today and when I got home they were cold and there was no signs of movement. Rabbits do not sit with their litters as cats and dogs do, as in the wild it would attract attention to the nest. A week ago the doe gave birth Where possible let the mother rabbit take care of the babies, as hand-rearing a rabbit is fraught with problems. well-written and mirrors our own experience thus far." Mower went over it, .

I am still kinda of Clueless on this I just know the basics could I get some help?I hope all went well! She’s nesting pretty hard.

I'm holding the rabbit kit that my dog lunged at (yes, I saved its life!). When is the best time to start training your baby rabbits to use the litter box? I’d try leaving it with it’s mother and adding a heat lamp.My doe is outside she is due this week . Now what? Is this a good sign they might be alive? "Professional insight, so helped a lot. Wouldn’t it be easier to just throw them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds?They would most likely receive life threatening burns if put in a microwave, even for the shortest amount of time.Cry I have one right now it’s about to die my mom is mad my dad is screamimg at my mom right now I’m singing god save the baby bunnyDo not microwave bunnies, I would rather bury a dead baby than microwave them.

We did lose two. Go to check on her and give her veggies and see babies in the box. Also give her a box to hide in at the other end of her cage, as she may need secure "time out"––in the wild she’d be hiding away from the kits anyway, to help keep them safe. Cross your fingers we have live babies in there.I hope everything went well with the rest of your rabbit’s birth. It's a necessary circle of life scenario.End note: If you do decide to try to raise a found baby rabbit, you should read as much as you can on how to properly care for the kit. "Everything I needed to know. The one that is left was moving around all day until suddenly its heart-rate dropped. "I was given two rabbits a month ago, but I had no idea of how to take care of them. I fell in love when I saw her. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1987 with a degree in veterinary medicine and surgery. my bunny, I was told it was a boy, and out of nowhere today she gave birth to 5 tiny pink bunnies! Put a couple of twigs over the nest to see if the doe was coming back and they were moved so the nest is not abandoned. Should I hand-rear baby rabbits if the mother ignores them? We didn't even know she was pregnant when we got her 18 days ago! There isn’t really much you can do for a singleton that young.We found baby wild rabbits there were 6 of them but one was dead.
