Tractor Supply or farm & garden stores sell kitten formula (yep, kitten formula.) Feed them with a small "eye dropper." When they grow a little a small pet nursing bottle works. Warm the formula and feed the rabbits every 4-5 hours.

They are ready to set free when you take them outside and place them on the ground and they run away so fast you can't catch them.

It works...these all survived.

If it happens again, try this.



are you really sure they "survived" though? Seeing as they were babies when the mother abandoned them, they probably weren't taught how to forage, what animals that are dangerous (although this might be an instinct), and other such things...
