Baby bunnies should be left alone: their mother will take care of them. People often find wild baby bunnies and think they have been abandoned when in fact they haven't.

If baby bunnies have been abandoned and need to be hand-reared, it's likely they won't survive. They have the best chance with someone who has experience raising bunnies: a rabbit rescuer or wildlife rehabilitator. If you find abandoned baby rabbits or have any in your care, call a local rabbit organization, wildlife rehab organization, government wildlife department, humane society, or SPCA for advice.

The babies will have to be fed with a milk replacer until they're weaned. Cow milk is dangerous for rabbits. Safe milk replacers include KMR Kitten powder (for domestic babies) or goat milk (for wild babies).

When they start to wean (between 4 and 6 weeks old) they can start on pellets and hay. Fresh greens can be introduced in small amounts when they're about 12 weeks. Treats (fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains) should wait until they're ready to begin transitioning to an adult diet (at about 7 months).

How do bunnies feed their babies and what is the process involved?

Bunnies feed their babies by nursing them with milk produced by their mother. The process involves the mother bunny licking her babies to stimulate them to nurse, and the babies instinctively latch onto the mother's teats to feed. This nursing process provides the necessary nutrients and care for the baby bunnies to grow and develop.
