Cat found another nest..

[NinaJ]

This time he brought home infants. I caught him outside with another one later, then another as he was coming across the neighbors yard. Two are unharmed, but one has a scratch on its thigh. I don't know if its from the cat or not...

I looked around the neighbors yard since they weren't home and there's no fence but I couldn't spot a nest. If its in the next neighbors yard I wont be able to get to it. They have a fence up and the grandparents warned me that they aren't too friendly..

Their eyes and ears aren't open and they're practically naked. The closest rehaber is about 3 hours away and I have no transport..Last time I had a juvenile, but I don't know if infants are the same feeding wise. I know a formula recipe and I'm keeping them warm with a heat pack. Is there anything else I can do?

 

[NinaJ]

Managed to feed them some formula =) At least they're hungry

 

[Bunnylova4eva]

What formula are you feeding?

 

[woahlookitsme]

watch the one with the scratch. If it was a cat scratch it can turn into an abscess

 

[NinaJ]

Its a mix of heavy whipping cream, egg yoke, corn syrup, and a splash of pedialyte.

 

[NinaJ]

Is there a way to clean the scratch? Would diluted peroxide work?

 

[Pipp]

Peroxide will sting, but if its all you've got, I'd go for it.

I'd also not use much if any corn syrup in the formula, but otherwise I think its good.

Are there any signs of bites or teeth punctures?

No bite marks. They survived the night, are eating, moving around a lot, doing their little bunny 'business', and I think they grew some more fur over night.

I wish I could figure out how to keep the cat from bringing them home..I know its instinct...but why couldnt he just stick to cicadas lol..

 

[NinaJ]

The one with the scratch died this afternoon =( The others seem fine and are still feeding well.

 

[daisyandoliver]

I hope they do well! It's a good thing they have you to take care of them. <3

Cat scratches can be fatal to bunnys (I even get reactions from them myself- swelling and major itchyness) so it's no surprise the one with the scratch died. The 2 survivors are looking very cute, good on you for taking them in and feeding them

 

[Bunnylova4eva]

Cuties! Be sure to rub their tummies to get them to go to the bathroom and I'd get some Benebac powder if you can't get cecotrophes for them for probiotics.

 

[NinaJ]

I had a hard time getting the to sit still after feeding this morning. Any ideas? Also I think their skin is flaking a little bit. Kind of like dandruff. Is this normal?

 

[NinaJ]

Day 5..Both of them are a lot more excited about food lol! I keep worrying that they're gonna bite off the end of the dropper when they latch onto it as hard as they have. They've even nibbled on me a few times. They finally started 'going' on their own without any help.
