Hello! I have a 2 1/2 week old kit and have lots of questions as we watch and help our doe raise him/her. I hope it is OK to put all the questions in this thread: When can baby bunnies start eating more than Timothy hay? And then what should I allow a baby bunny to eat? I can tell the baby is...

Thanks. We’ll keep an eye on it and swap out if need be.

Thanks everyone for all the valuable information. Our little kit is changing so much each day! I put a small cardboard box in the hutch with a blanket and hay for sleeping. Tonight the baby is nibbling on the cardboard box. It happens to be the one that you get from Costco with the magnesium...

Ooops sorry for sending the above twice😩

Our baby bunny is doing so much better. So thankful for all the help from this forum. Baby bunny’s eyes started opening today(13 days old)! We moved her from the top of the hutch to the bottom today. What food should I have available to her? Alfalfa? Pellets? Timothy hay? Do I need to have water...

My baby bunny’s eyes opened today, 13 days old-yay! Baby is doing so much better and I so appreciate all the advice on here. I decided to move the baby to the lower level of the hutch as it was getting bigger and moving around more. What should I make available to the baby bunny? Do I need to...

After using the chamomile Tea I have a hard time fluffing/drying the area as The bunny starts popping all over. Any suggestions? I also got a gel spray for bunnies that’s an antibiotic ointment so keeping the area moist now. Things are looking good and I’m seeing evidence of poo and pee.

Thank you. The tripe antibiotic cream shouldn’t hurt the mom if licked? Also, if it is blood on the end should I still be trying to get it off? The last bunch that I got off did smell like poop so I’m thinking it’s just poop. Thanks for thoughts.

Baby bun looks full and sleepy but decent today. There is black on the tip of the protrusion so I will go stimulate and clean with chamomile and honey again. I did find poop in the cage that seems old. So looks like it could be mommy’s and some is more squashed but similar looking to mommy’s and...

I cleared the obstruction (Smelled like poop). There’s open raw flesh underneath. Poor thing. With all the Wiping I did I didn’t notice it urinate and it most certainly didn’t poop. We’ll see what the morning brings. Thanks everyone for the help!

How often should I stimulate the baby bun to urinate/defecate?

Baby bunny was born on the second story of the hutch. There is no food or water up there. Just the baby’s nest. There is some hay for the nest around but it’s getting quite old. Baby bun’s eyes aren’t open yet so I assumed it wasn’t to be eating anything but mom’s milk at this point. I haven’t...

At what point/day should I have seen Baby poop?

That’s what I’m afraid of.😢

This is what 11 day old baby bun looks like. I have not seen any baby bunny poop in the cage. Thoughts? This came about 3 days ago. Baby is moving around a bit today(But mostly resting) whereas they were resting all the time the previous two days. This looks more mellow and less built up on the...
