Thank you for saving the lives of these beautiful bunnies. It took a lot of patience, hard work, and deep knowledge of bunny psychology, letting them scrounge around to find the nipple. I loved watching the little black bunny gurgle down the milk. The first bunny resisted, but the second one was in bunny heaven. Already they display different personalities. I'm just learning about rabbits. What amazing creatures. This video was made four years ago. I hope they all survived and are still living happily ever after. It's so sad to look at videos and then find out the bunnies have died.
In the UK, we often use a thick blend of kitten replacement milk powder with water and rabbit probiotic to hand feed rabbit kits. It's interesting to see you let them get a bit of their sass out before feeding them. It takes me 2 hours sometimes to feed 5 of them! I struggle to get the amount in them that they should have before they fall asleep.
What a great video! I am just getting back into raising rabbits and you have information that is unique to others. Back when I was young I did lose a rabbit to heat stroke, never thought about a ice bottle, but back then all the bottles were glass and would break. That tip and this one on bottle feeding is great! Keep them coming.
You are one of those special people of TH-cam. It's a delight watching you lot live and I learned a lot. Hope you make some more, been watching this channel for 7 years I think. Greetings from the other side of the planet.
Thank you very much for this video, my Neighbor found a baby rabbit in our street gutter in broad daylight and no one wanted to try to take care of it so I’m trying to do my best to have this little one make it. I know nothing about taking care of 2 day old rabbits so this has given me at least something to go on. Wish my little guy luck, I’m going to do my very best to help it make it.
Yes it did and I let it go in my back yard. She stayed around for many weeks then she didn’t show up anymore. I’d like to think she had to live a wild rabbits life
1.Thanks for the advice, i'm a new rabbit breeder and found this very helpful 2. You have the prettiest eyes i've seen, i found myself hypnotized by them and missed what you were saying lol Thanks again.
We used face paint sponges. They suckled that great we just dripped the goat milk into it as it dried form eating off it. We had no luck with the bottles. You made a great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's a very daunting and difficult task.
Great information. Found a baby wild rabbit on our driveway this morning. No telling how long he had been out there, he was ice cold. We're off grid with no electricity and no water bottles. The only way I could get him warm fast is to wrap his body only in plastic and hold him in warm water. Saw a sheep breeder do this with a lamb, however she used a plastic glove which goes to her shoulder. Heared water and placed a few small rocks in the bottom of a small wippy container added toilet paper and placed the bunny inside. The water is reheated every half hour to an hour. Will be putting the kit is hay. We have no I door heat, will the hay and a towel be enough to keep him warm. We are in south Texas currently the temps are sometimes getting into the 30's - 60's.
A fascinating, interesting video. I know you probably take it for granted, but to me it seems you lead a wonderful, fulfilling life, and this is how it should be.
would warming the bottle ... with body temperature help them want to feed from the bottle more ... say from holding in the hands or ... well, other warm available places ? dang they are sooo cute to ...
i’m in a similar situation with a two day old kit - how many times a day do you feed them? i’ve heard some say once a day, but is that enough (i know this video is old, i just can’t find anything else)
Hello, Thankyou for your video and advice given in it. I am in the same position currently, hand raising a litter of 6. Sorry if this sounds silly but with the goats milk does it need to be heated up at all or can they drink it cold? First time hand raising and I’m trying to do as much research as possible to help my little ones survive. Thankyou!
My son had me go and look for any more kit's. 2 more were found on the driveway where they were not before. 1 was already dead, the other I warmed like the first, so far it is doing OK. Something has been digging this morning looking for these kit's. The first was found just before 8:30am the other 2 were found after 1pm. On the way down our long dirt driveway to open our gate this morning there was noticeable digging, this afternoon the digging has expanded. What ever it was may have been scared off when I let the dogs out this morning. None of the dogs barked or even ran in the direction of where the digging and kit's were found. Hopefully it's not hogs. (No food prints are visible and weeds and chickens undisturbed.)
Thank you! I have 2 pet bunnies and I didn't think my doe was sexually mature, but I woke up today to her giving birth, one week before the male's snip snip appointment. She lays with them and licks them but so far didn't feed them. Their bellies aren't full and she only has 2 babies. I got kitten formula for just in case if she ends up not feeding them and I really needed a tutorial
Could I double the goat's milk in the mix or will that burn their stomach out because I just want to get more fat into them quicker if they're poor eaters.
So cute!! That nipple seems a little large though... Q. We found five baby bunnies 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇 2 weeks ago, three have unexplainably expired over the course of 2 weeks 😭 I've been feeding them goats milk, whipping cream, 1 egg yolk, using a dropper. When should we release them? I put fresh grass in their cardboard box and they nibble it away. ♡
My bottle, exactly like yours- even after using a safety pin ad nauseam, won’t express the kitty replacement milk I got. Of all the issues..... I have a syringe and I’m trying that but the 8-10 day old bunny I found just won’t eat. Ive warmed her up and I’m trying the side of her mouth but no dice. I guess she goes to wildlife rehab in the morning...
My ffa show rabbit this is her first litter she only had 1 she had it on the wire didn't build a nest didnt pull hair she had it hanging out of the cage half on wire half like hanging out the side its a broken blue so I took it inside she doesn't want it so 3 times a day I bring her inside let the baby nurse and am rasing it with her milk its doing fine but its only 2 days old I got it at a couple hours old
Would it be good to hold them so they are on their back with tummy facing up? I've seen that momma bunnies usually just stand over the babies, and babies must flip over on to their backs so they can nurse. Help to teach them how to nurse, so hopefully mama can take over. I think it is such a good idea to know how to do this in case it's needed, but if mamma takes over that is best. So adorable! It's clear you adore them.💞
I am raising babies as we speak. Why are they 3 times smaller than the outside ones that mom takes care of, and what am I supposed to do when I dont have Cecotrophes/( night poo) to give the babies?
I just had to feed one with a syringe, that's what I had on hand, I'm thinking I'm going to have to do it more so I'm watching to see how others are doing it.
Some did, some didn’t. It’s always hard to save them but it’s possible. The best option is to give them to an other mom rabbit to foster. But yes, though some didn’t we did same some
good video thanks! I heard that if you have several does giving birth similar times that they will adopt a couple of kits you put in. Usually it's with does that don't have a full litter. Have you tried it yet?
you are one of the luckiest guys on the planet ... a great looking woman and well she knows lots of stuff and doesnt mind getting dirty either ... wish all women would be more like her ;)
no that is not all these people need to know. Address the fact that in certain age point, these kits have to eat cecotrophes so they can transition from milk to solid foods and they get prepared with their gut to accept solid food. You have to address this , because it is important .And maybe redo the video to include the whole care for babies. Is not as easy as you make it seem!

Excellent video! You are going to make a great Mom!
Very nice video. Something I've never seen done before. Hope you and family have a blessed Thanksgiving.
I went through that. Too cute when you get down to it.
your going to Heaven young lady...great video
Should you warm the milk up first? I'm having to bottle raise my 8 kits and I'm a total beginner to this!
We used face paint sponges. They suckled that great we just dripped the goat milk into it as it dried form eating off it. We had no luck with the bottles. You made a great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. It's a very daunting and difficult task.
Absolutely adorable 😊 and we use to raise rabbits years ago 😊
The rabbit. Is so lucky to have you. Feed them!

You are very patient. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
A fascinating, interesting video. I know you probably take it for granted, but to me it seems you lead a wonderful, fulfilling life, and this is how it should be.
About the milk. You can also use KMR kitten milk replacement.
You are amazing. What a gift to have you in the world.
Miss your videos 😪 😭precious lil rabbits🐇🐰

would warming the bottle ... with body temperature help them want to feed from the bottle more ... say from holding in the hands or ... well, other warm available places ?

Also how much do you feed them every time you are feeding them?

Aint gunna lie, I only subscribed for your eyes, I'm in love with em.
Creep. You've been reported.
yes a new video!
missed them!
nice eyes. very informative as well, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
How much formula do u have to give newborn kits??
Could I double the goat's milk in the mix or will that burn their stomach out because I just want to get more fat into them quicker if they're poor eaters.
No don’t. Their stomachs can’t take it.
So cute!! That nipple seems a little large though...

So glad to see a new video! :)
I started watching this because its a vid about feeding baby rabbits but all I could think while watching was" Wow those eyes"

Still gorgeous!
good job mom . cute little burgers

Glad you guys are back.
How often do you feed orphaned rabbits
Looks like you have your hands full there! Nice Video.

How many times a day do I need to feed them?
what happens if you use lamb milk 🍼 🤔
How many times do you feed them. A day
What temp of milk did you use?
+atariforever2002 only slightly above lukewarm
Cool color i got a black and white one i been syringe feeding em but hes still not egar to eat
I am raising babies as we speak. Why are they 3 times smaller than the outside ones that mom takes care of, and what am I supposed to do when I dont have Cecotrophes/( night poo) to give the babies?
5:41 lol....some of them are really easy to handle, especially the greedy ones
Wow! Thank you for the urination tip! I had no idea!
Do you use the rabbits for food?
+David F yes rabbit is one of the healthiest meats you can eat
+Survival HT You are a true country lass!!
I just had to feed one with a syringe, that's what I had on hand, I'm thinking I'm going to have to do it more so I'm watching to see how others are doing it.
What type of formula do you use?
Goats milk
hey girl i m still here i still like your post thank you all
are you raising them for food or pets?
+ken halverson food mostly, but if someone wants to buy a pet off us that's fine too
great video, as always God bless!
you raise them and then eat them right?
+KimChiTofu mostly. Sell some for pets and to 4H kids
How old are these? 5:04
Did they live?
Some did, some didn’t. It’s always hard to save them but it’s possible. The best option is to give them to an other mom rabbit to foster. But yes, though some didn’t we did same some
good video thanks! I heard that if you have several does giving birth similar times that they will adopt a couple of kits you put in. Usually it's with does that don't have a full litter. Have you tried it yet?
+Oneda Zinn yes it usually works so it's good to breed several on the same day.
Great to see you all put more vids on and your husband?🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰👬
