we contacted the conservation dept, they said there is not much we could do for them.

Call a vet or an animal shelter and inquire about nursing mother rabbits (or cats or guinea pigs) that could possibly take on a few more babies to nurse... most mother animals will do this; you just need to find people who will cooperate.
This link has instructions for taking care of them yourself.

Good luck!
P.S.- Are you sure they are abandoned?

Take them to the nearest Animal care center is probably the best thing you could do for them...
First see a vet maybe..make sure they are ok...

I suggest you take them to a vet to check their health or take them to a animal humane society. Or try to get them a biiiiiiiiiggggggg cage and feed them carrots or lettuce. if they refuse, i'd give them some milk. Try keeping them, maybe give some away. If you feel terrible that you are taking them away, just leave them, maybe their mom went to get food or something.

DON'T TOUCH. Mom isn't gonna have 5 tiny babies trailing after her as she's russling up dinner, so she will hide them & come back periodicly to feed them. They are NOT abandoned...

take them to a vet, now. they may have rabies, or some other sickness. thats the 1st thing i would do. then get some rabbit books, and find out what to feed them, how to take care of them, etc.

Call your local animal shelter to see if they can direct you to a wildlife rehad specialist. If not go to this website and contact a local chapter to see if they can direct you to someone.

Telephone them first and ask them lots of questions so that you can judge whether they know a lot about bunnies -

And just ask their advice too.
Very very best of luck!

If they are old enough to eat, don't feed them frozen lettuce or cabbage. If they are not old enough dip a Q-tip in milk and see if they'll suck the milk.
