When does an mom rabbit feed her babies?

Answer 1

She feeds them milk for the first 6 to 8 weeks and teaches them to eat solid food by them watching her eat.

Rabbit mothers nurse their babies for approximately 5 minutes a day. They will be in the nest or nest box early in the morning and then again in the evening. The milk is very rich and the babies "fill up" to capacity within minutes. Mother rabbits do not "sit" on the babies to keep them warm as do some mammals and birds. They build a nest with fur and grasses which helps to keep the babies warm in between feedings.

Answer 2

Rabbits feed their babies twice a day. Usually late at night and early morning for about 5 minutes.

Their milk is high in fat and vitamins, one of the most nutritious of all the mammals so they can limit their feeding to help protect the babies from "predators" finding the nest.

Answer 3

first answer: every 3 to 4 hours

another answer: Baby rabbits that are nursing eat about twice a day. The mother doesn't stay with them, but comes to feed and groom them about twice a day.

Baby rabbits that are weaned eat off-and-on all day long. Rabbits are grazers, so that's how they eat. You should give hay, pellets, and water to baby rabbits at all times.

Answer 4

I have two bunnies and they are about to have babies but i am pretty sure that they kits need to be fed about 3 times a day but i would not go and feed your baby bunnies 3 times because i am not 100% sure.

Answer 5

The mother rabbit feeds her own babies and she does it once or twice a day at her discretion. She usually feeds under the cover of darkness and you will never see her. This is a secretive process of necessity in the wild. The doe sneaks in and feeds her babies when she feels there are no predators observing where her nest is.

Answer 6

Baby bunnies, called "kits", nurse only once, or twice a day. Don't worry if you don't see the doe,(mommy rabbit), nursing them. They often nurse when your not around. The doe also nurses standing up, they don't nurse laying down like a dog or cat.

Answer 7

Twice a day. At dawn and at dusk. She does this so predators do not find her babies and kill them.

Answer 8

Milk.
