yes why not..every mother do it.
nope that rumor is totally false. she probably wont even notice but sometimes if the baby is new born and a human touches it, the smell rubs off and the mother rabbit kills it thinking its not hers. when the mother rabbit gets used to her baby and officially knows it's her's, she doesn't care.
If you find a wild cottontail rabbit baby in your yard, it's best to leave it alone. The mother rabbit is likely nearby and will return to care for it. Keep pets and children away to give the baby rabbit the best chance of survival. If the baby rabbit appears injured or in danger, contact a local wildlife rehabilitation center for guidance.
A sight that a mother Dwarft rabbit is abandoning one of her babies is that if you hold the baby, the mother doesnt like it and will not take care of it anymore.
Mamma Rabbit
The mother rabbit will likely return periodically to nurse and care for her babies. It's important not to disturb the nest as this may lead the mother to abandon her babies. The babies can survive without their mother for short periods as long as they are kept warm and dry.
Don't touch the babies without gloves on, and if you don't have gloves, wash your hands and hold the kit in a cup position. The mother will probably continue to care for her kit if she knows you and is comfortable with you around.
The mother dolphin takes care of her baby
The original name for a baby rabbit is a "kit," short for "kitten." A group of baby rabbits is often referred to as a "litter." These terms are commonly used in the context of rabbit breeding and care.
If the mother rabbit dies take care of the baby rabbit like its motherfeed it the baby rabbit food.If the mother dies before babies are weaned you can get baby kitten milk replacer and a kitten baby bottle and feed the babies. IT IS A REALLY HARD JOB. The babies must be fed and then stimulated to go to the bathroom and then cleaned up just as the mother rabbit would do. (you can also feed them canned goat milk, I say canned because not too many people have a fresh goat on hand.)If the baby is old enough to be eating rabbit pellets you are OK, just give the baby extra grass hay and plenty of water (maybe put electrolyes made for rabbits in the water.)
Feed it, love it, and pet it
its because either someone has touched the baby or it went away from its habitat. if the baby ran away from its habitat then it will take care of its self.if someone touched the baby then it will eventually die.
no it will eat its babys
