I have an 11 day old baby that was hand raised from 1-2 days old. For milk ive been using nurseall with equal amount water, some heavy cream, and i have a colostrum supplement i used. I'm a zoo keeper and have raised tons of different animals but i dont have too much experience raising rabbit kits. I know survival odds are low considering how young it was but I'm hoping it keeps doing as good as it has been. Just a few questions (some are for younger kits, assuming im going to have more babies sometime soon). How often and how long do you use colostrum? Is acidophilus a good idea? What feeding schedule/ amounts do you use? I did three times a day 2.5 ml for the first week (he was underweight). Right now he is 11 days old and getting 12-15 ml a day. When the eyes open i will introduce solid foods and water. I do plan on getting poop from a healthy adult for the baby. Any other information will be useful. I do not take babies from the mothers i know they have the best chances with their mothers. The issue is we have at least 15 adults at a time in one pen, the mothers are never separated. Out of about 12-14 litters this winter none have survived. All have been eaten. The one i have now was the last one from his litter the rest were eaten. I only take them in those situations. Any advice would be appreciated i wanna give these babies the best chances
