As much as I heard, its very hard to do, so maybeyou can call wildlife or humane society in case they have experts whocan take care of the bunnies.

WelcomeNFBLOCK,

Are the babies eyes open? How big are they in your hands.

As said above, wild rabbits in captivity don't usually do well, butBuck's suggested websites should provide the information youneed. In many states, it's illegal to keep wild animals inyour care and quite often suggested to give them to a wildlife rehabberfor the best care they can be given.

I hope they'll be okay. Keep us posted.
