Yesterday our dog, Buddy brought me a newborn bunny rabit in the back yard. We found the empty nest that the mama had dug out, but no mama bunny. So we cleaned it, wrapped it up and put it in a box. The pet store told us to feed it kitten formula once a day using a syringe, so we did that.
This morning, Buddy dropped another newborn bunny on our back patio. We looked throughout the back yard but couldn't find the mama. So we cleaned it up and brought it in. And yep ... about fifteen minutes later Buddy found another baby bunny in the grass. So now we have three newborn bunnies. Their eyes aren't even open and their ears are still slicked back to their heads. They're about the size of large hamsters.
Anyone have any advice? We're keeping them in a quiet, dark spot and feeding them twice a day. The kids are thrilled, but we're just hoping to keep the bunnies alive.
