Abandoned baby rabbit

M

Monty'sMarch

Young Bun
I got a call from the Humane Society (I am very involved) and they asked if I could take a rabbit that another member found. I was the only person they knew with any experience.

Reluctantly I said yes. They said it was a baby... but I had no idea!

She is big enough to hop around and seems fully developed, just really small. She weighs 9 ounces. Appears in good health...

No idea of breed-- ears seem to big (proportionally) to be a full dwarf.

Any help would be great.
 
I will have a pic by tonight. I'm taking it to my friends house (shes pre-vet and has raised many rabbits) to get some advice. I will let everyone know how it goes!
 
I took some pics, but my friend won't have time to get them to me till tomorrow.

We syringe fed her and she ate it all up. So its just a waiting game. And lots of night time feedings!
 
We have poop! Yay! lol Shes making it through the night beautifully, even through in a good kick to my belly for not feeding her just right ;) Can't wait to show you all the pics, you won't believe your eyes! Ok, maybe you will, but shes so cute!
 
PICTURES!!!

Heres the little girl! We are eating our carrots and soaked pellets quite well from the syringe. She was poaking around her pellets, but still not very interested.

Shes so little I can fit her in one hand, about half the size of these pics!. Shes a pistole though, let me tell ya!
 
Awwwwww bless her :D :D
I'd try to get some fibre/probiotics into her. I think you should be able to obtain 'Critical Care' feed in the US as its made by Oxbow, a US company.
Critical Care Feed can be given via syringe and contains essential fibre and probiotics. The wee baby Buns tum needs 'intensive care'!!
Please do keep us updated.

If I let you know my locale that would make it so much easier... don't you want a challenge? lol


Little Python has gained 1.1 ounces in the three days I've had her! We had out first interaction with Monty today, it was adorble. They ran around for awhile before Python got worn out.

I'm sure Python will catch up soon!
 
New pics and new addition

Foster bunny has found a home... with me! Go figure huh?

I am going to find my other bunny March a home instead. He and Monty are not getting along at all and Monty and Python are very bonded (should of known with the names)

So if anyone is near Lexington KY and is looking for a wonderful Netherland dwark, PM me!

Here are the new pictures of little Python! (shes gained 3 ounces since I got her last week! Eating and drinking on her own now too)

Eating away!
