Baby rabbits will begin to eat pellets whenever they can get a hold of them. It is best to put them where they wont get them until the babies are about two weeks old, then the will begin to nibble on them. Wait a while before introducing fresh produce to baby rabbits.

You should feed them at the same time everyday. So in the morning or evening would be good. Don't give them any more food than they can eat, though. Watch them for about a week and determine how much food they eat in a day. Then just give them that amount of food everday, no more, no less.

Gerbils eat their own young when the baby gerbil is in outsider or smells like one, if the gerbil mom does not have water or is suffering from malnutrion, if the baby dies or is sick.

I found one of my baby gerbils dead Why didn't the mom try to eat it?

Gerbils do not eat their young. The mother will typically ignore a stillborn baby or one that dies for some other reason and she will remove the body from the rest of the litter.
