Do you have to give food to a newborn baby rabbit if it is not with its mother?

If its mother is still alive then no. If it is orphaned then yes otherwise it will die. If you are going to feed the kit (baby rabbit) by hand while the mother is still alive be careful because the mother may kill the baby because it has your scent. Place the kit back into the nest and after a while your scent should disipate.

You probably touched the kits when the mother rabbit was looking. That's when she will kill her young. First remove the baby rabbits, then bring it to the vet. The vet will examine them to make sure that they have any wounds, cuts, or bruises. The vet will give the baby rabbits some medicine and milk.

We have a ten day old baby rabbit runt and is not getting as much milk as others he is being fed by mum could we take him away to feed him ourselves till he gains weight and then put him back?

You can feed the kit (baby rabbit) by hand but the mother may kill the baby because it has your scent on it. Put the kit back in the nest after feeding it. It will lose your scent after a while and regain the scent of its mother due to the fur in the nest.
