Anyone Know About Wild Rabbits?

[MadChickenMama]

My sister's cat brought a baby bunny inside her house. The thing is so young its eyes aren't even open. It was too late to call any wild life rehabilitator. I'm going to cal tomorrow but I just need info to keep it through the night at least.

This is going to sound bad but you probably won’t be able to keep it alive throughout the night. Since it’s eyes are still closed it means it is still nursing and the doe will come at night to feed her kits. Get a clean blanket and make a ball. Put the kit in the center and cover lightly. If it’s still alive by morning definitely call a wildlife rehabilitator.

The less you can disturb it, the better. A cat's mouth is a nasty place, and between stress and infection, few bunnies survive such an experience. The best you can do is give it a warm, dark, quiet place to rest and hopefully recover from the shock.

I've heard you can give them goats milk. Heat it up (idk how hot) and then dip a paintbrush in it and let them suck it off the paintbrush. It'll need fed about every 2 hours.

Keep us posted, and good luck.

Goats milk is good for a lot of things, but it has about the same butterfat percentage as cow milk. Baby bunnies need a much richer milk than that. Go online and you should be able to find some formulas for baby bunnies.

Any updates? Did it survive the night?
