No, rabbits shouldn't normally eat baby food. Rabbits need a special diet high in fibre. To stay happy and healthy, rabbit should eat mostly hay, with some fresh greens and pellets daily, and water. Treats can consist of a bite or two of fresh fruit (like pineapple) or vegetable (like carrot). See the related questions below for more details and helpful links.

When rabbits are ill and need to be force-fed, and the vet is not immediately available, a home-made preparation can be used: combine crushed up pellets, a bit of water (or watered-down Pedialyte), and baby carrot food (100% carrot, no additives). Commercial force-foods (like Critical Care) are generally recommended over home-made preparations, but in an emergency the home-made preparation will do. Never force-feed a rabbit that isn't pooping because if there's a blockage, piling more food on top of the blockage can lead to more serious illness. Never force-feed a rabbit that is hypothermic: hypothermic animals can't digest food! If your rabbit is not pooping and/or is hypothermic, she needs immediate veterinary care (if your usual vet is not available, find one that is immediately!). If your rabbit needs force-feeding at all, you should seek advice from expets online and see your usual vet as absolutely soon as possible.
