Deworming two week old bunnies

[Chicken Kate]

I have two, two week old Holland Lop/English Lop mixed bunnies that have head tilt. (No vets near by to take them too.) Can I give them some dewormer and how much can I give them? I want to catch this now before I lose them.
Thanks in advanced

From where would 2 week olds acquire worms?
Perhaps send a fecal to this lab to see if there is a problem.

I'd suspect mites or an infection before I'd suspect worms. Have you taken a look at the insides of their ears?

Ahh OK I thought of mites as well, they scratch their ears often. I looked but don't really see anything. It's double hard because they flop and part of the ear covers the inside really well right now. They have head tilt which is why I thought worms, but idk where they would get them. The other two however are fine and little bigger in size

Thank you. Makes sense to me, but I don't understand the head tilt. I guess that can give them the head tilit because they are babies?

Ear infections/mites are the most likely thing to give a rabbit head tilt, no matter the age. It upsets their sense of balance and should be dealt with ASAP in case it's an infection that can reach the brain.

Worming two week old bunnies? Why would you want to? Whatever is wrong with them, it is unlikely to be worms.

I have always used pine and fir branches to worm my rabbits, goats, horses sheep etc... Guaranteed some of that will not hurt them any even at two weeks of age.

I've been told that certain species of pine been found to cause early-term abortions in goats.
