Answer 1

whatever you do, DONT FEED IT PEOPLE MILK(as in cows milk) FOR SOME REASON I DID THAT AND IT DIED, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE IT TO A VET OR FEED IT SOMETHING LIKE GOATS MILK, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME. FIND OUT EVERYTHING ON HOW TO TAKE CARE OF RABBITS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.

Answer 2

Please take the Baby Bunny to a Veterinarian.

Bunnies are VERY high-strung animals. The slightest noise and/or movement will literally scare them to death (causing them to have a heart attack).

Put the remaining Bunny into a box with a blanket for him to cuddle up in. Unplug the phone or anything else in the room where you will keep the Bunny (when he's in the box). Leave the door to the room open just a bit so the Bunny will hear people talking about walking by the room. This way when you go into the room hopefully the Bunny won't be scared.

When you take the Bunny to the Vet, the Doctor will know what to do. Probably you will not be able to keep the Bunny as a pet. The Bunny should go to a Wildlife Rehabilitater, who will take care of the Bunny until he/she is able to be released back into the wild.

Good Luck.

Have a lovely rest of the evening.

Answer 3

Call a local vet ASAP, and find out about shelters that take baby bunnies. Even if you ultimately want it back (which might be very possible since it won't have the survival skills to be released back into the wild), taking care of a newborn bunny is too delicate for someone who doesn't have a lot of training and experience.

When I was little my cat uncovered a nest of baby bunnies, and we put them in a shoe box and my parents found an animal shelter that could take care of them. As far as I know, they all grew up OK. But, while baby bunnies are really cute, they're not really developed enough to survive without their mother, so it takes a lot of skilled professional care for them to survive.

BTW, pet rabbits don't generally need any shots, but wild animals don't make good pets.

Answer 4

These bunnies probably were not abandoned in the first place. The mother rabbit usually leaves the babies alone and only comes back to feed them about twice/day. They do this to avoid bringing attention to the babies who could be easliy eaten by a predator. The best thing you could have done was to leave them alone. They are probably starving to death without the mother's milk. I suppose you could take the remaining bunny go the vet but I'm sure he would tell you the same thing. Let nature take care of itself! I know you're intentions were probably good but the best intentions aren't always enough.

Answer 5

Call the vet. They will usually advise you over the phone. They need special formula and water. You need to talk to the vet or the pet store right away. Shots? I don't think they give them shots. Is it a wild bunny? They don't make it in captivity. We tried to save 2 baby bunnies when we found the mama had died. They do die easily. Best of luck with the last one.

Answer 6

Have you tried contacting your local vet or animal rescue shelter? They can give you the best information about what specifically should be done. Nearly every county in the USA has an emergency vet clinic open after hours. The number will be in the phone book and there may be something they can tell you over the phone. By the way, thank you for caring and not letting them die. Too many people don't care.

Answer 7

If this happens again, LEAVE THEM ALONE. Their mother was probably off doing rabbit things and would have returned. They would not have survived this long if the mother had not been taking care of them. Wild animals usually do not make good pets. If you really wanted a rabbit, there are lots of "tame" rabbits for sale. Just be prepared to get bitten and scratched sometimes. Rabbits are cute, but they can be mean. They are the same as little stuffed bunny toys.

Answer 8

Ok. If the little fella has fur over two to three mm long and his ears are perked up into a V but not very expressive, he's probably between two and a half to three and a half weeks old. They are just starting to eat on their own so Mom bunny was probably trying to show the little buggers what to eat when you found them, try to see if she is still around and release the one remaining baby if she is. She'll take care of it from there.

Answer 9

baby bunnies dont open thier eyes till they are 3-5 weeks old i have raised them before and mom only comes back once a day but not usal in the street

Answer 10

You need to get him to a wildlife rehabilitator in your area. If that isn't possible, you can try and raise it. You can feed it kitten milk replacer. Baby bunnies just don't do well in captivity. Don't feel too bad if it doesn't survive.

Answer 11
