Hello friends.
I received a phone call from a local vet practice yesterday asking if I would take in a baby wildie that needs hand rearing. The girl I spoke to thinks he's about 3 weeks old. She fed him a little goats milk last night and he was seen to lap some water from a bowl yesterday evening.
I would be very grateful for any advice regarding hand rearing buns as I have never handreared a baby bun before.
How much milk do I give the bun at each sitting? The girl I spoke to said he should only need a couple of feeds a day now.
What's the best way of warming the milk up for the bunny? Obviously he can't have it cold.
Any other things I need to know and anything else I can give him?
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Love, Nicola x x x
