Hi all,
I am looking for advice on raising these guys. This morning my neighbor decided to mow his hay field next to me. I found my Great Pyrenees in the yard guarding something and went to investigate. She was guarding a dead momma rabbit (mower got her) and three babies. One of the three babies was also dead. The other two are healthy with a full coat of hair, but closed eyes. I have some expensive powdered milk that I bought last fall to raise an orphaned squirrel. The milk is also for Cottontails, has been kept in the fridge, and is still in date. Now, my problem is that I have no way to get bunny poop as my research says they need it. The closest rehabber is 4 hours away and says she cannot take these babies (same thing she said when I called her last fall for the squirrel, who by the way, was released and is doing well). Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
