How To Take Care Of A Baby Rabbit Without Mother. Do not squeeze much milk into a rabbits mouth. For making it possible you have to hold his head up just as while feeding on their mother.
Another misconception is if you dont see the mother on the nest she has abandoned it. The separation of a kit from its mother before 8 weeks can be risky. Once in the early morning and again late at.
Baby rabbits need to develop healthy gut bacteria and their mothers milk and cecotropes help them to achieve this.
Take a towel or any fresh soft cloth on your lap. Make sure that the kid feeds at his own rate and does not push the food too fast because it can allow the liquid to get into the lungs of the rabbit and cause it to suffocate. While feeding milk to the baby rabbits use syringe or nipples. Your vet will send you a mix of colostrum or colostrum tablets in the formula.
