How do you care for newborn found baby rabbits?

Answer 1

First, you should take it to the vet and check if it has any diseases and if it has a chance to survive. Depending on it's age, you should probably start it on an infant-sized bottle. Slowly work your way up to wet food, then regular food, if this is a long time arrangement. I suggest JustBorn or Esbilac. also, you can use goats milk, or make your own: -1 can evaporated milk (15 oz)

2 egg yolks

1 carton plain yogurt (8 oz)

(add 6 oz boiled water and mix well) or -1 can evaporated milk

2 cans water

2 packages unflavored Gelatin (dissolved in cold water, heat and blend)

2 beaten egg yolks

1 tablespoon cream (or half and half)

1 tablespoon honey (reduce is stools become loose)

Mix Don't bring and unfriendly or ill dog into your home if you have dogs or kids, lest they get infected with something.

Answer 2

If you find newborn baby rabbits, the best course of action is to contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or vet for guidance. It's important not to feed the rabbits or attempt to care for them yourself, as improper care can harm them. Keep them warm and dry in the meantime.

Answer 3

The best way to care for the babies is to feed them human baby formula through a dropper. Other than that keep them in a warm dark enviroment. It's sad, but true, they don't have a very good chance of survival. If they do 'make it' don't worry about letting them go into the wild. Once they are 8-12 weeks old, nature will 'kick in' and they will be able to fend for themselves. You could also contact your local SPCA for help.

Answer 4

Try to feed them some puppy milk and you might wanna feed them through an eye drop bottle will be the best thing and once they figure out that you are trieing to feed them they should hopefully want more XD.

BUT if its not a newborn... just stick with the naturall food that the squirrel would find outside (no chocalate its toxic) (I rhymed :D) you can feed it whole wheat and or grain cereals a lil sugar wont kill it but its healthier!!! you should stick with baby tomaoes potatoes carrots and any other fruit or vegetables and nuts

Answer 7

Yes, if you find it in a country-western bar and buy it a drink. :-)

Seriously, it is a bad idea to pick up almost any wild animals. Raccoons are capable of being extremely nasty. The mother can be expected to be angry and defensive. Even the babies have nasty teeth and claws. Also, if it is nursing, the mother may reject it if the baby has human smells on it.

They are very cute and can seem entertaining, but that cuteness conceals a very wild critter.

Answer 8

Call a wildlife refuge. They will know how to care for it.

Answer 9

I would not recommend taking in wild rabbits. However, I recommend that you see whether or not their mother is around. If it isn't, take them to a shelter so they can be cared for.
