Why do people call their kids rabbits?
Hundreds of years ago, rabbits were called "coneys" (pronounced with a soft o, as in "honey"), and baby coneys were called "rabbits." Over time, the word coney was phased out, and the word rabbit came to be used for the adults; baby rabbits are now called "kittens" (or "kits").
The current nickname for rabbits, "bunnies," derives from their original name. Some languages still use the original name (e.g. the Spanish word for "rabbit" is "conejo"; the Dutch, "konijn").
Some species have the word "rabbit" in their name, like the jack rabbit, when they're not actually rabbits: e.g. jack rabbits are hares. Hares and rabbits are closely related, though (both lagomorphs).
It's a common misconception that "bunny" means a baby rabbit. Baby rabbits are called "kits." The word "bunny" is just a nickname for "rabbits."

Can baby cottontails drink half and half?
It is not recommended to give baby cottontails half and half or any dairy products. They should be fed a specialized formula designed for orphaned or injured rabbits, such as kitten milk replacer. Dairy can cause digestive issues in rabbits.
Newborn baby bunnies eat their mother's milk 1 or 2 times a day until she weans them at about 8 weeks. If the doe won't feed them, flip her over and hold her firmly but gently, then have someone put the babies to her teats so they can get her milk to come in. Look for the babies to have round, full bellies at each feeding. Pull the fur from around her teats and use it to put in the nest. It won't hurt her and the babies need to stay very warm!
Sometimes the babies are abandoned for some reason, and you can TRY to foster them to another doe who has kits (babies) about the same age. Get the foster doe's scent on the babies before putting them with her, or put a tiny drop of vanilla on their noses and her nose.
A newborn baby bunny can go 2 or 3 days without eating.
If fostering doesn't work or is not possible, you can TRY to mix a formula of 1 part Karo syrup, 1 part evaporated milk, and 1 part water, feeding with a calibrated syringe or eye dropper until their bellies are round and full once in the morning and once at night. Be careful not to drown them. However, remember you are fighting against nature here. Sometimes there is nothing you can do.
As for baby bunnies 6 - 8 weeks of age or more, they can eat lots of timothy hay, rabbit pellets from the store, parsley, bananas, apples, carrots, spinach, romaine lettuce (iceburg lettuce is bad for rabbits), raisins, turnip greens, dandelion greens, and a fun treat is Nilla Wafers.
If the baby bunnies (also known as kits) are still with their mother, they'll feed on their own with their mother's milk.
If they're old enough to be away from their mother, they can eat greens such as green grass (make sure there are no fertilizers being used), lettuce, and small, chopped up carrots.
If these kits are wild, I do suggest that you do not feed them or touch them, as the mother will most likely abandon them.

Can you move a house rabbit nest?
It is best to leave it alone. The mother rabbit will smell you on the nest and might abandon the babies. If you need to touch a baby first get the mothers sent on your hands, than do only what is needed. She only feeds the babies once every 1 to 2 days. The day they are born she might not feed them but it is normal. They will grow and be fine.
You probably should not move the nest until the babies are about 2 weeks old. She will not abandon them as long as the move is in the same general area and not to a different room. Before you move them or check them in any way wash your hands with unscented soap. You will need to check for dead kits immediately after she gives birth and then once every couple of days. Does are very secretive about feeding their babies and usually feed after dusk and before dawn. You may never see gher feed but can tell they are being fed by their full fat little tummies.
