Hi, my next door neighbours rabbits have had babies. She found them this morning, ? 1 to 2 days old! It was a complete shock to her as thought they had 2 does. There were 5 altogether, 2 were already dead this morning, and a further 2 have died this afternoon. She took them to the vets (as suggested when she phoned them) and has been told to give them kitten milk which they have provided. The vet has told her to feed them every 2 hours!!!! This seems alot. Don't wild rabbits feed their young twice a day????? The babies couldn't be left with mum as she kept attacking them. My neighbour has separeted the doe and the buck now.
Any advice greatly welcome to pass on.
Thanks, Claire
