Best Answer

Baby rabbits drink their mother's milk, i.e. rabbit milk. If the baby rabbit is domestic and orphaned, you can try feeding it Kitten Milk Replacer (KRM); if the rabbit is wild, use goat milk. However, it can be very, very difficult to hand-raise rabbits, especially if you aren't experienced. If you find yourself in charge of an orphaned baby rabbit, do lots of research and contact local experts in your area. See the related link below for a place to start.

No you must not because rabbits don't drink milk! Please don't give them that because it can make them very ill! In the wild rabbits naturally drink water.

Can rabbits have too much milk?

Rabbits shouldn't drink any milk at all, they're herbivores and vegan, and any amount of milk can make them sick. See the related question below for details about a healthy rabbit diet. If you're talking about baby rabbits drinking their mother's milk, then no, it's not possible for them to have too much milk because they'll self-regulate and drink just the right amount on their own. If you're hand-raising baby rabbits who have been orphaned, then yes, it is possible to feed them too much "milk" -- but they should never have cow's milk, only KMR (kitten milk replacer) or, in some cases, goat's milk. If you're hand-raising baby rabbits, you should research how to do it properly, and it's best to consult a local rabbit rescue group or wildlife rehabber. See the related links below for details.

No, rabbits can NOT have cows milk. They are unable to handle the fats and lactose in this.

If you are talking about hand raising baby rabbits, your best bet is kitten replacer milk (you can buy it at most any pet store) or goats milk (canned). Cows milk does not have enough fat in it especially if it is processed.
