To have the highest chance of success, both rabbits should be fixed and neutered. Otherwise, unfixed rabbits will usually be too territorial to be able to bond. If your baby rabbit is too young to be neutered, at the minimum, have your adult rabbit neutered. Be warned, that even if you succeed in bonding the baby and and the adult, when the baby reaches sexual maturity, the bond may break.
Read the related links for more information on how to bond two rabbits.
The maturity varies from breed to breed with rabbits! I was a rabbit husband ( click the Animal Husbandry below to learn about it) growing up and studied rabbit breeding. For most breeds that I am aware of they are fully mature being an adult able to produce offspring by six months of age (eight to ten for giant breeds). So yes this would be an adult rabbit. I mainly breed the MiniRex breed and they are usually adults by the age of two months, occasionally three weeks less or more tops. If you are a youth you can show your rabbit in a fair yourself just click the 4-h link below to find a local club or with the help of an adult you can form your own 4-h club, unless you are an adult and you want to help form a club or take over an existing club as a club leader or become a project leader of an existing club.
no the animal and its parents look like the same not matching a baby animals to their parents but it is a way to help children
If the mother rabbit dies take care of the baby rabbit like its motherfeed it the baby rabbit food.If the mother dies before babies are weaned you can get baby kitten milk replacer and a kitten baby bottle and feed the babies. IT IS A REALLY HARD JOB. The babies must be fed and then stimulated to go to the bathroom and then cleaned up just as the mother rabbit would do. (you can also feed them canned goat milk, I say canned because not too many people have a fresh goat on hand.)If the baby is old enough to be eating rabbit pellets you are OK, just give the baby extra grass hay and plenty of water (maybe put electrolyes made for rabbits in the water.)
You should take your rabbit to the vet.
Yes, because once the hormones take over she can't help it. It almost happened with my rabbits. A female rabbit is able to become pregnant again as soon as she's given birth to her kits (baby rabbits).
If you want any questions answered about baby rabbits or have found a baby rabbit that is orphaned or abandoned, then also send me an email on animalmadhouse@yahoo.co.uk and I can help you.
get an adult to call someone like a vet
No, you should ask a adult or ask a vet.
rabbit help human live life. rabbit tasty and delicious for soul.
Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) formula is the only thing you should feed a baby nursing rabbit who's been orphaned. This is true of domestic rabbits. If the rabbit is a wild North American breed, experts suggest goat's milk instead. Either way, NEVER feed a rabbit cow milk of ANY kind. This is not healthy for the rabbit, the rabbit can't digest it, and it will make the rabbit very sick and probably kill it. It is very difficult to hand-rear baby rabbits, especially if you don't have the experience. If you have orphaned baby rabbits, you should find a local expert to help you. This could be a wildlife rehabber, or a rabbit rescue organization, or a vet, animal shelter, or government agency. See the related links below for help.
You just bundle them up in a small blanket or maybe get them some baby clothes to wear so they will be warm.

Its best to leave them be in-less the baby's are stuck when you need to have two fingers and very, very gently pull.
Yes, the mother will eat her young so it is best that if you don't touch a baby rabbit when you see it, unless it is hurt and you think you can help.
Yes, baby rabbits with diarrhea will die -- no matter what species or breed they are -- unless they get immediate attention from an experienced vet (and even then, the chances of survival are low). Baby rabbits usually get diarrhea because they were separated from their mother too early; another possible cause is parasites. It's extremely difficult to care for a wild baby rabbit, or even a pet rabbit, if it is not yet weaned. Many people find baby rabbits outdoors and think they've been abandoned, when in fact they haven't been -- the mother is just off somewhere, and will return to her babies when they need her. Generally speaking, wildlife should be left alone. If you find yourself caring for a baby cottontail rabbit, seek help from someone who knows what to do, like a wildlife rehabber, rabbit vet, rabbit rescuer, or even someone at an animal shelter or local government animal control office.
