In the wild mother rabbits stay away from their dens during the day so that predators will not be attracted by their smell. Most pet rabbits follow the same instincts and only feed their kits once or twice a day.

∙ 11y agoIf your rabbit doesn't have a mother, the best thing to do is give her a foster mother, either another female rabbit at least 6 months old, or another female bunny you know.You must let the mother do her job and take the baby or babies out when they are 8 weeks.If a foster mother is not available then you would have to go with bottle feeding.Bottle feeding is more of a last resort because of the low percentile of the babies end up being healthy and alive.When bottle feeding you must know that you need to only do it twice a day like their mother would.You would have to do this out of something with a small, non-sharp whole, and you must be able to feed it to them very slowly.There are a lot of different baby milk stuff you would be able to feed her and that is a question for a vet. I hope this helped you and good luck with your baby rabbits!!

∙ 11y agoMaybe you could take the kits (babies) in and feed them yourself if they're big enough. Other than that i don't know if there's anything else you could do. Rabbits are just like that, this usually occurs when the doe (mother rabbit) is a new mother and this is her first litter. Rabbits are a difficult thing to take care of especially if you have a new mother with a young litter of kits. Sometimes the litter may just die (sadly) because the mother is new at raising a litter and doesn't know what to do, but her instincts may kick in. Keep the young kits warm if the mother total ignores them too. Good Luck!

How do you tell a baby bunny is a boy or a girl?
You can tell whether or not your rabbit is a boy/girl by looking under its butt.
How warm does a baby bird have to be kept?
The mother bunny will take care of the babies. She will cover them with her fur if they are cold and uncover them if it is too warm. If you try to care for the baby rabbits yourself, chances are they will die. It is difficult to tell if the mother is taking care of the babies because she does not "sit" on the babies. By the time you figure the mom is not taking care of them, the babies are dead.

They are probably excited that they get to play and take care of the baby. they probably dont mean to ignore you. try talking about it and tell them how it makes you feel.and when they are playing or taking care of the baby and you feel left out join them!
