sorry for cross posting this but i was recommended that the health section would be of better use pretending to the questions i have [wasnt sure how to change forum section in a post or if that even possible] :
hello everyone please let me first thank you for reading my story which goes as follows.
today my mother was redesigning a flower bed, pulling everything out, raking, & shoveling the whole nine yards, unfortunately while doing so a cottontail nest was utterly destroyed. so for the time being we took the four babies along with as much of the natural bedding as possible and place them in a cardboard box until she was done working to prevent any injuries and the like. not sure as if we should attempt to re build the nest we turned to the internet that clearly let us know to bring them back to where they were found. on our way to doing just that we were ecstatic to see a bunny very close to the nest's location so we hurriedly returned the lil guys back outdoors. we went back inside so we didnt scare the possible momma bunny away. after about 5 minutes we went out to check if any change had happened. to our absolute horror we came out to see a large cat pulling a baby out of the nest we quickly shooed it away, but we were too late as she had already killed one baby before we saw the second one being killed itself. we were just crushed, trying to do the best thing and seemingly being punished by doing so.
so what now? we purchased some replacement milk and dropper feed them once already after the sun went down. they have their eyes open so we shouldnt have to coax urination and defection, correct? and i am trying to learn further about the 'night poo' do they produce this themselves or do i get it from another adult rabbit?
any tips / advice greatly welcomed.
