User ID: 16981037 United States05/30/2021 10:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | At the front of the building I work and live in, there there are two stone framed garden boxes on each side of the main entrance doors, they each have a tree planted in them and some grass and shrubbery. On one of the boxes, there are some very small baby rabbits snuggling together under some shrubs. It doesn’t seem the mother has been around. Quoting: LTHN. The rabbits are about the size of small rats, I want to go get some food for them, but I don’t know what would be best to buy to feed these little guys. Carrots? Celery ? Lettuce?. Can someone who knows about rabbits chime in and let me know what would be the best vegetable to feed them? Thanks! Cabbage would be my vote. I have owned rabbits.

We don't play well with others, we are brash, outlandish and cunning. let us do what we do best; let us be Americans. |

(OP) User ID: 34826150 Canada05/30/2021 10:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If really small they would need milk from an eyedropper, then move on to veggies if they survive. Is the mother really not around? If not, they will die without help. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77906239 I have only gone and checked on them 3 times over the past 2 days, I never see the mother there, but I guess it’s possible she just isn’t there when I check up on them. There is a very busy 4 lane road about 8 ft. From where they are, so I don’t know where the mother would head off to.

Quoting: tkwasny If you touch the newborn rabbits and get your scent on them, the mother will kill them all. Using gloves always, clover and dandelion are the preferred natural food for non-baby rabbits. Alfalfa and other wide-blade grasses are also great. Their sense of smell is off the charts. |

I’m going to go take a few pics of where they are. Be right back.

Quoting: Agent 99 If there is a male around he will kill them, so she stays far from the nest. carrots for her, away from the nest. Just went and looked, seems there is some fur nesting around their little dugout.

(OP) User ID: 34826150 Canada05/30/2021 10:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | carrots are best. Quoting: Agent 99 When I raised backyard rabbits, started with 2, had over 100. They breed every 30 days. Rabbits are prey. Critters eat them, they supply food. That is their job. So don't personify them... or get emotional because they don't. Carrots, okay. Do you think maybe I should just let them be, and that the mother (wherever she is) is probably taking care of them?

Living in a dream User ID: 51703004 United States05/30/2021 10:48 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have raised and bred rabbits my whole life. The mother did not abandon these babies, she's around somewhere. She usually will only come to feed them once a day. Even caged rabbits will only tend to their young once, sometimes twice a day. The rest of the time momma is off doing rabbit things. They look pretty big. Won't be long until they start venturing out of their nest and eating on their own. We are eternal... All this pain is an illusion |

Momma deer drop babies off behind my central air conditioner and eats all day, then comes back for baby. I have had triplets at times. Moms have to eat to feed their babies. See if someone has a trap cam y’all can put out overnight, you’ll probably see momma. Or put some carrots out for momma and see if they disappear. |
