What do newborn bunnies eat?

Answer 1

Newborn bunnies drink their mother's milk (and eat their mother's cecotropes).

Hand-fed bunnies do not have a great survival rate, but if it has to happen, they're fed with a special milk substitute formula (and they should also be fed cecotropes from an adult rabbit). Not just any formula will do; hand-rearing must be done under guidance from a rabbit vet or experienced rabbit rescuer.

Baby bunnies start to eat solid foods around 4 weeks of age, but they aren't fully weaned until about 6 weeks. At that point they eat hay and pellets. Vegetables and fruit can be unhealthy for baby rabbits. Fresh greens can be introduced at around 12 weeks (in tiny portions daily, but watch for diarrhea or other signs of ill health). Treats like fruit and carrot can be offered (tiny portions once a week or so) at 6 months. At 7 months they should begin slowly transitioning to an adult diet.

Wild baby rabbits eat the same diet that domestic baby rabbits eat. When they start eating solid foods, instead of hay and pellets they eat wild (and sometimes cultivated) grasses, weeds, herbs, some vegetables, and very small amounts of roots, grains, and fruit.

Answer 2

Four week old bunnies will nibble on grass and hay and they are beginning to eat rabbit pellets but they should still be nursing from mother. Four weeks is too young to wean a baby rabbit, I don't care how cute they are.

Answer 3

well I would say just cat milk like you would feed a normal rabbit but I'm not completely positive...........
