Bonding with a tiny 5 to 6 week old bunny

Hi everyone,

Yesterday a friend of mine caught a domestic baby bunny out in her backyard. He/she was completely soaked thru, covered in leaves and not looking very well. To make a long story short I have the baby at my house and have a Vet appointment booked for Sunday.

Thankfully, he is doing really good now. Eating, pooping, and has bright button eyes. He is quaranteened away from my rabbits. I have 2, a spayed female and a neutered male. They are housed separately as they fight but have a fence between them. They actually spend a lot of time sitting together thru the fencing.

Once I have the baby sexed I want to introduce it to whichever bunny is the opposite sex. And of course, when it is old enough it will be fixed as well.

But I have never bonded a bunny this young. Does anyone have any experience? Because it is so young I was hoping the bonding process would be easier.

I really hope the little bun makes it. Thanks for any advice.

Personally I wouldn't rush bonding the bunny with another bunny just yet, it's far to young to be away from its mum already, and lucky you found it. I wouldn't want bond so young incase the baby was to get hurt accidentally or intentionally

I agree. Some rabbits are friendly with babies, some are not. At least bunny is safe now.
