How do you take care of a premature baby rabbit that is not welcomed by its mother?

If the mother isn't around because it has died, and the kits are still very young, this is what you can do: (my kits were at 10 days when this happened to me) Buy yourself some small eye droppers and a bunch of baby food bottles, such as pureed carrot, applesauce, etc. I used others, but can't remember them, it was something green, possibly peas. In a small bowl or cup, mix them together, heat them up until they are *just* lukewarm in the microwave, and feed them the mixture with the eye droppers. My kits absolutely loved it. This was several years ago, so I don't remember how long it was till they were eating on their own, so your best bet is to keep a supply of hay in the cage with them at all times, so they will have it when ready, and make sure they have plenty of water. Be sure to take them to a vet to ensure they are doing alright.

Answer 2

Your best option is to contact a local rescue or a local wildlife rehabilitation center. Because wild rabbits are not endangered, there's not a lot of people that will be interested in providing medical care to an orphaned rabbit. Also, at least in the United States, veterinarians must be specially certified to work with wildlife since there are special requirements and legal restrictions on what can and cannot be done.

Answer 3

when you get the rabbit that lost its mother, just take care of it like it is a baby. Hold it close to your heart so it will feel like you are its mother and make sure it is fed at least once or twice a day. Make sure it has plenty of water

Answer 4

you feed it only veggies and cover its cage with a blanket so it feels safe and don't take it outside at all don't leave it lonely
