Help! Bunny problems!

. And aren't all bunnies wild just some more wild than others

You might as well say, "Aren't wolves just dogs that didn't grow up in someone's back yard?" People who have dealt with them can tell you, even though they can interbreed, dogs and wolves are very, very different; a wolf cub will never grow up to act like somebody's family pet, no matter how it is raised. The domestic rabbit has a couple thousand years of living with humans behind it. A domestic rabbit that hasn't had a lot of handling can be difficult to deal with, but that is a far cry from the mind set and behavior of a truly wild animal.

Quote:
This is impossible, for two reasons. First, the domestic rabbit is a completely different genus and species from the wild rabbits of North America, and they cannot interbreed. And secondly, a domestic rabbit lacks the ability to fend for itself in a truly wild situation, and will become lunch for something in short order. Yes, you do hear stories of released rabbits breeding to the point of becoming nuisances, but those are on islands where there are no natural predators, or urban settings where the predators have been eliminated.

They're taking the KMR Milk very well they are little piggies and love being held they lick everyone who holds them to death! And they're all in the same tote sleeping in a giant pile of 3. I gave them grass for the first time today and they love it. And aren't all bunnies wild just some more wild than others, and a domestic rabbit could be out in the wild either getting pregnant or getting another rabbit pregnant either way lol.. And I plan to keep one in my room once they're old enough to keep warm on their own, will make a hutch outside for the other two (which are my nieces and nephews bunnies. ) They are goofy little bunnies they do not seem to mind my cats either ( my cats poke there heads to look at them, they know better they've been raised around chickens, they don't try to do anything with them )

Keep in mind that, as mentioned, those two that you plan to stick in a hutch outside are either going to breed if they are opposite sex, or they are going to fight like the dickens when they reach maturity, it is unbelievable how vicious rabbits can be and how much damage they can do to each other when they fight. For their sake I'd strongly suggest a separate hutch for each rabbit.

Rabbits feed their young only once a day. But their milk is very rich. I think you can find something on raising orphan rabbits on the internet. Google it and see what you come up with.
