The best substitute of a rabbit's mother milk is Goat Milk, yes. Go buy a syringe and some goat milk, and feed it to them. Their housing should be really warm, like maybe a bunch of cotton to sleep on, or hay, or a really cozy blanket. If it has its eyes not opened yet, hope for the best. If the eyes are already opened, more chance it can survive.
Although the chances are low, I hope it can make it.
The poster above me is wrong, cat milk (or something close to that) is not a good substitute when it comes to rabbits.

Even if the mother is still alive, you've already disturbed the nest and taken it in and it won't do any good to put it back out. If you try to keep this it's far more likely to die than if you seek professional help. Kittens milk is meant for kittens, not rabbits, and it's a temporary solution at best. You need to contact a vet or get the number for a wildlife rehabilitation center or an urban wildlife care group as soon as possible. Keep it in a warm, quiet, dark box with lots of airholes, don't poke it or bother it unneccesarily, make sure it has water and grass and bedding, and find an emergency care center ASAP.

But if you don't keep it it will die for sure. The best thing you can do for the rabbit is try. Got to a pet store and buy alfalfa hay or timothy hay and rabbit food. Also they love veggies.
If you cant take care of it, there might be some kind of wildlife shelter around that could take care of it. I have 2 rabbits and there fine with humans. I didn't get them from the wild though.

at most pet stores they sell tiny bottles and canned milk that is comperable to a cats milk. i think that would be your best bet. it takes a little while for them to get used to you feeding them but it works, ive done it lots of times with abandoned kittens. make sure after feeding them you wipe they buts with a warm wet washcloth to stimulate them to go to the bathroom because this is what their mother would do if she was around. feed the baby bunny every three hours. if it wont eat kind of force it until it can get used to it. feed him about 2 or 3 ounces each time yoy feed him or until you can tell that he is full. youll have alot of fun with him!

How do you know mom is dead? Most rabbit moms raise their babies "latchkey" just stopping by a few times to feed them....
If you are sure she's dead the wildlife rehabilitator has a much better chance of raising iy than you do...

Call your local shelter and ask if the have or know of a wildlife rescue team in the area. These people will come to you. You could try calling a local pet shop and ask them if they have any info or suggestions.
