How To Care For Rabbit Kits. Healthy well-fed rabbit kits should have plump bellies be warm to the touch and not have wrinkly skin. Wild rabbits should be released as soon as they are eating hay and greens and are approximately 5 inches in body length for cottontails and are afraid of you about 3-4.
The best hay for your rabbits according to many rabbit farmers is Timothy Hay. Then place a towel or warm cloth. Well-fed kits will also be calm and restful.
This will take you a very long time if you dont use a mini mixer but dont wait to start if you dont have one.
Doing this takes a short amount of time and as quickly as the initial check is done place the bunnies back into their nests and let their mom do her job. If the litter is very large some of the weaker kits may die. Injured bunnies will need immediate veterinary care. Kits usually nurse once or twice a day for only four to five minutes.
