Is there anything you can do for a newborn rabbit that is the runt of the litter? All of the other babies are between 80-100 grams and this baby is only 40 grams. Now it might be a little off since they were all wiggling around as i tried to weigh them. But he/she is definitely smaller than the brothers and sisters. I've talked to a friend of mine who breeds rabbits and she suggested putting the baby up to the mama to nurse. If i could do this i would, but the mama rabbit doesn't like human contact and there is no way i could hold her without being bit or scratched. She runs away if you just try to pet her.
