How To Care For Newborn Baby Rabbits. Your rabbit will probably use these materials and their own fur to arrange the nest for their babies. You may start introducing them to hay and pellets at this point but no veggies or fruits yet.
Most often the first nursing will occur the night after the kindling. Of course your rabbit will know when it is consuming enough. Be sure to clean babys mouth with a damp cloth or paper towel so that no milk dries in the hair.
The quantity may differ based on the size of the bunny.
A mother rabbit does not lie down in the nest as a cat would do but stands over the babies to nurse them. You should make a diet chart according to the age of the baby rabbit. If it is a giant breed you could provide 7-cc and if it is a dwarf breed you could feed 5-cc. As soon as you see that birth has occurred you will need to pick up each baby born.
