  1. If they are old enough to eat on their own the carrots,lettuce,alfalfa hay which you can pick up at walmart.If they are not ready to eat on their own then you can go to a local pet store and buy milk subsitute for newborn animals and handfeed them with a bottle You have to keep them really warm when handfeeding so that the milk digest properly...Good Luck!


  2. carrots, lettece, rabbit pellits from almost any store that sells pet food

  3. These are very high strung, nervous animals.

    We had a litter a long time ago.

    We gave them very little human interaction.

    Feed them as the other person said.  Rabbit food, water, alfalpha hay, etc if they are old enough to eat on their own.

    Then set free.

    If they are too young to eat on their own google search wild animal rescue sites near you & turn them over to them right away.  Time is important if they are very young!

    Good Luck!

  4. Don't feed them, don't keep them.  Just put them in a field of tall grass and let nature do its thing.

    Leave the wild to the wild.

  5. You can go to a local vet and ask them what would be best for them. I would because they are animal experts.

  6. If they're very young, keep them indoors and keep them warm and clean. If you intend to keep them, this is a good time to get them used to human contact. Feed them milk substitute from a store. If you live in the US I'm not sure where you'd get it, as the only pet store I got to is a UK one called Pets At Home. When they can eat on their own, allow them to eat some greens, along with hay, but MAKE SURE you get them some dry foods (pellets) as well...

    ...I know from experience, when I had rabbits and went away, we came back and found out our housekeeper had only fed the animals on cabbage and carrots, and the rabbits had developed very loose stools, become messy and developed fly strike (where flies lay their eggs around the rabbits' back end, and the eggs hatch and the maggots go inside and eat the rabbit's innards - not nice). Whilst rabbits are always at risk, the fact that the housekeeper didn't apply a repelent every 2 weeks like we're supposed to, and didn't make sure the animals were clean made it all too easy to get the flies in there.

    Best thing to do is take them to your vet for some advice, or go to a pet store and ask for some advice too.
