Newborn Baby Rabbit Care. Caring For The Newborn Rabbit. A mother rabbit does not lie down in the nest as a cat would do but stands over the babies to nurse them.
If your bunnies are orphaned or the mother rabbit is sick you will need to help the kits poop. Caring for newborn bunny rabbits is no easy task. While mother rabbits take care of their kits there are instances when human intervention is required.
Feeding is a matter of life and death for the baby rabbits.
Rabbits require a lot of care either you have them from pregnant mothers or from a wild nest. Its important to remember that they are very sensitive to direct light so be careful where you place the nest. Make a bed for the young rabbits to relax quietly without any disruption. The preferred mealtime is between midu001fnight and 500 am.
