How to raise and care for newborn baby rabbits 

THANK YOU so much for the advice on how to get the babies to nurse on mama when she’s stopped feeding them. This is going to save the whole litter! Her nest had been moved and she abandoned them :(. I cradled her in one arm with her belly up, placed the babies on her so they could nurse, and pet her head and slowly fed her pellets during the whole process. I rotated a few babies at a time to ensure they each got enough milk and so the weight of the babies didn’t bother mom. Mama and I actually bonded through this! She became very relaxed and was chattering blissfully while her babies got milk. (In the beginning she was anxious and tried to jump away a few times). Afterward, I thought she’d flick her feet at me, but she didn’t! She wanted more pellets and head rubs, and then went and flopped nearby. :)

My bunny gave birth this afternoon to 4 kits. We were told she was a “he”. So this pregnancy came as a surprise.

My bunny gave birth this morning the thing is we didn’t now she was pregnant

Very informative and simple to understand My rabbit pulled fur 5 minutes before she gave birth

Ignoring them is not anti-maternal, it is instinctively protective to not lead predators to her nest. The very act of her preparing a nest, pulling out her own fur! and feeding them is maternal.

My rabbit was nesting 6 days before she gave birth, and she was pulling her fur minutes before she gave birth. She has been a very wonderful mother. It was a beautiful experience to witness her taking care of her babies and doing everything to bring them into this world.

Best video on RU-vid regarding rabbit pregnancy! Definitely under rated!

We got 2 bunnies 5 months ago and the told us that it was a mom and daughter.. but the daughter was a so. And.. we found 2 baby bunnies in the cage yesterday! So we were scared that the mom bunnies wouldn’t feed them but I think she is! Have a good day guys! Oh and I noticed if your bunny only has 2 baby bunnies make sure to put them next to each-other to keep warm and to know that there safe!

Now , I m feeling lucky that I saw my rabbit giving birth

Just had our second batch of bunnies. We could tell because the mum was getting aggressive with us and her mate (she ran away or hopped over him when he tried). Also, she was gaining loads of weight (and she was little before, compared to my other rabbits)

Didn't know my baby was pregnant till last minute . She gave birth 2pm today to 2 baby kits . She doing good running hopping eating as she normally would. She haven't feed them yet so hopefully she does while I'm sleeping tonight

I really appreciate how informative this video was! My bunny peter just had a litter of 8, one passed, and I wish I'd seen this video before he had, because I feel like I could have prevented it. But I am glad that I know now, and will be able to help mama feed future babies that get missed.

I got baby rabbits in my backyard and thank you.

Thanks for the video. My rabbit named Woody has 1 month old bunnies and she just gave birth to her 2nd litter of 10 kits.

Thank you for this video... It will help with the raising of the wild rabbits we recently rescued from our puppies that recently discovered the nest of 7 4-5 week old bunnies...

if my buns having a baby and is in the same room as my guinea pig cages are should i move her? i dont want the babies to be eaten

I have a rabbit called Hazel to! When we got her we didn't know she was pregnant, we've had here for 2 weeks! Last weekend she gave birth, sadly 2 died but there is 5 or 4 left. Today is day 6 for mine, but they are so cute! Thanks for the tips!

REXS ARE MY 2 FAV RABBITS!!! my first is Californian. Also. We were away from our house for two days and we came back to baby bunnies. We had two does but only one was pregnant. We knew she was. We didn’t know her due date. She had 8 but two didn’t make it. She was very sweet and fed all of her babies😊

This is so helpful. I have 3 babies in my yard that have been abandonded after my dog attacked the nest, I secured the dog and left the babies out for the night but they were all in the same spot in the morning and I don't think the mom came back, I have a feeling she may not be alive.

What do you do if your rabbit doesn’t like being picked up. I just got her recently and she still getting used to being here & she I went to clean her hideyhole I have attatched to her pen and there was babies and I felt so bad for moving them and destroying her nest because I didn’t know and I put them back but I’m scared that because I moved them and she’s still getting used to me that because I touched them she might not want them anymore.

How to identify there genders?

My does not a new mama but since we've had her this is her first litter for us. They're 5 days old, went out to count and check this AM to one baby half eaten, 2 dead and 1 left alive (lost one right after birth) so I took the left living bunny away to try and save it. After a feeding I noticed it had diarrhea is this normal for a bottle fed baby?

My rabbit gave birth 2days ago gave birth to 7 bunnies they were sooo cute but after 2days most of them died only one of the is alive 😭

My cat brought me a baby bunny. I hope it’ll be the same for this wild bunny bc it’s eyes are closed and there’s no burrows around here bc my cat scared them all off. Trying to find a rescue now!

How much cuteness 🥰

My bunny gave birth this morning we didn’t know she was pregnant and didn’t know how considering my sister a le bunny was no where near her. Now the mom and dad rejected the babies and I’m on my own.

I just found 2 born about an hr prior. and left them one died to fire ants the 2nd almost did so I took it in its been 12 hrs

Merci pour tous ces précieux conseils ❤️

This Was So Helpful! Thank You. My Bunny Gave Birth To Four Babies Earlier!

Some mother rabbits are excellent

I’m assuming you clicked on this vid cause you have bunnies at home. So I’m curious, how old are your babies buns? Mine are 3 days old 🥰 Edit: And also how many of them?

I just found a baby rabbit out side that my dog had gotten

The bigger newborn rabbits I have aren’t moving but the smaller more fragile ones are moving quite a bit

I’ve never had a problem with any of my does not caring for their kits. By nature they only go to the best a couple of times a day to prevent leading predators to the babies.. most of my does are actually VERY protect of their nest/babies for the first couple of weeks. If I had a doe who didn’t care for her kits, she would be culled from my herd.

Do we feed with bottles ?

At least with owners taking care of baby bunnies is that the bunnies would get a better childhood, and the mother would have it easy

Thanks for the info

Did she found love with a boy or did she just have children

I just found wild baby bunnies yesterday there mother was killed and I’m currently tryna warm them up and get the formula for these little cuties

Mine baby nbunny has no mother bc the mother does not want them she gave brith to 6 baby bunny but all of them died expect for one poor guy now i have to take care of him..

My mini Rex ate her babies if you have any information on why this may happen can you share

I have been searching for an informative video just like this, my doe is 2 weeks pregnant and starting to pull out her fur which is a little early but that shouldn’t matter. I’m so excited so I’m scraping up every bit of knowledge I can do thank you :)

My rabbit gave birth and the next day they were all gasping for air and ended up dying? Is that a birth defect or did my rabbit do something

Our bunny gave birth to 9 little bunnys

I always thought rabbits needed a big nesting box, it’s really cool that you showed your box and towel method. Thanks for the video

We. Had 6 to start with now 5

Thank you very much for this interesting video. What would you say is better. Getting 1 male and 1 female bunny or just 1 male?

How much KMR?
