does anyone know how much weight baby lion heads should put on each day?
My lion head has had her first litter 3 weeks ago today- she had 7 beautiful bunnies but I have struggled to keep them all. when they began loosing weight at about 8 days old we intervened and helped her with feeding by food and petting bribery whilst siting on my lap with bunnies between my legs in a make shift nest. this worked for about a week and most of them progressed well. however she started getting stressed with this arrangement so we have left her to it again. the bunnies are only putting on between 1g-8g per day and I am concerned this is not enough. they are beautiful fluffy bouncing bunnies - who have now just started eating hay so I am hoping this will help. but I just wanted to know if anyone knew what they should be putting on? or of there's anything special I could feed them to help? thanks
