Just found this on there:shock:
Hello long shot i suppose but does anyone have a surrogate female rabbit that
will finish weaning our babies. we are looking for a mummy rabbit who has babies
of approx 2-4 weeks old to tak eon our 4 little babies. failing that does anyone
have any kitten milk replacer. (the powder stuff)

our female rabbit died last night due to a inner ear infection!

thank you all in advance

Will rabbits take on another rabbits kits? i didnt think that was possible?
 
it's possible if you rub them in the litter of the surrogate doe as you would your hands - but still pretty risky... also adding 4 to a litter could put strain on the doe... I'd advise them to contact a local rabbit rescue to hand them in for hand-rearing :?
 
If they can't find a surrogate doe, they will need to hand rear them on full fat goats milk with probiotics mixed into it. A 1ml syringe is easier to use for feeding than a bottle with teat.

I'd be prepared to have a go at hand rearing them if no surrogate doe is found.
