What food will a wild baby rabbit eat?

Answer 1

First answer: I think veggies and grass

Another answer: If the babies aren't weaned and they've been orphaned/abandoned, you have to feed them a milk replacer. Do not give them cow's milk: it will kill them. You can use goat milk instead.

It's terribly difficult to hand-rear wild baby rabbits: for their sake, you should contact a local authority (like a chapter of the House Rabbit Society or another rabbit rescue group, or a wildlife rehabber, or a government agency, or an animal shelter, etc).

Many people find wild baby rabbits and think they've been abandoned, when really they haven't. Then they take the rabbits and basically kill them, because they usually don't survive without their mothers. Mother rabbits don't stay with the babies all day: they only visit once or twice a day to feed and groom the babies. Don't take the babies unless you're positively sure they've been abandoned. If they're warm and plump, leave them alone! If they're cold and wrinkly, they may be abandoned: to do to a test, criss-cross some sticks over the nest, and wait a day to see if they've been moved by the mother rabbit or not.

Answer 2

I suggest you determine its age and try cit with some grass. If it doesn't eat that though you should probably take it to a vet because it might still need milk and they might be able to supply a supplement or help. DO NOT give it normal cow's milk unless you have professional experienced advice of some kind. Hope it helps :-)

Answer 3

The mother rabbit feeds the young once a day and at night. Then she will stay away from the nest. Bottle feeding is a bad idea because if you are not trained you will overfeed them and they will die a painful death.

Answer 4

If the rabbit is weened, then anything from the flower beds, the rabbit will choose to eat what it knows is safe.

Answer 5

milk and veggies
