If its a pet rabbit not a rabbit from the wild you put the food were you think is a good spot that they'll be use to waiting they're food there every 3 to 5 times a day but not to much. Bunnies and rabbits mostly don't like to be feed they like to eat their selves without anybody bothering them or touching they're food.

Why ae you hand feeding baby rabbits? Are they orphans? Baby rabbits are fed twice a day by the mom. Usually at dusk and dawn under the cloak of darkness so that predators can not locate the nest. Purchase a kitten nurser (bottle) and kitten milk replacer or canned goat milk. Feed the babies twice a day. Use a cotton ball dipped in warm water to stimulate the babies to the bathroom and then clean them up afterwards. Babies will get old enough to go to the bathroom by themselves at about 10 days to 2 weeks.

Babies younger than 4 weeks should only be fed by their moms. From 4 to 6 weeks, the babies start weaning. After 6 weeks, the babies are weaned. The way you feed baby bunnies is by putting the food in bowls or other containers and letting them eat. Baby bunnies should have unlimited access to fresh water, fresh alfalfa hay, and rabbit pellets. See the related questions below for more details and helpful links.

If the baby rabbit is orphaned, you should bring it to a professional wildlife rehabber or rabbit rescue organisation -- it can be very difficult to hand-raise rabbits, and if you're not experienced in doing this the rabbit doesn't have very good chances. See the related links below for more help.
