The latest addition to FF's is four one week old baby buns whose mum was pts yesterday Two of them are big and bouncy, one a little smaller and one tiny. They arrived at Abi's at 18:00 yesterday and I brought them home in the hope that our mummy bunny Pinot might be able to help with them.
We did present them to her and she was fantastic and allowed them to suckle her for a while but her kits were born on the 1st July - does anyone know how long mums produce milk for? They still seemed hungry after she had had enough so we went to the vets and got some additional milk.
I thought bottle feeding would be easy, that they'd just latch on and suck but it is a nightmare and getting any sort of volume into them is really difficult and a long drawn out process!! I put two pin ****** in the teet and squeezed a little onto their lips and gradually got a bit in them that way.
Anyway, all four are still here this am but if anyone has any tips - all welcome! Thanks - tired surrogate bunny mummy!
