Momma rabbit stop feeding bunnies

[silly4buttons]

Momma was good intill this week they are 3/12 weeks old. They dont have the full belly anymore. They are happy to see her but she’s like nah not today they eat the hay and rabbit pellets and drink water They are running and Pop Corning all over the place too cute. Should I try goat milk? I would put in a bowl instead of bottled feeding since they are used to mom feeding them. I just want to make sure they are healthy so they can go to their new homes

not goat milk, kitten milk re-placer. and baby rabbits should be nursing until 5- 7 weeks, are you going to try to hand feed them? if not you can lay the rabbit on its back on your lap and hold is scruff so it will stay still and not wiggle around, then place the baby rabbits near the mama rabbits nipples and the baby's should eat but the baby's only need to nurse for about 5 minutes a time.
also the more the rabbits grow into them selves you wont really be able to see how full or empty the baby's stomachs are.

I am pretty sure they are not. No one has the tummy Bun bun is so bratty I tell her children that I will take care of them because their mom is all about herself

Yes I am worried absolutely them. They are all running around in their bunny room mom comes in and she just eats and leaves. I have tried to hold her so they can eat but she bite me and then all day I got the stink eye. who new that rabbits hold a grudge

I have hand feed before with great success with goat milk with a egg York the rabbit did awesome I just don’t know if these bunnies will take the milk after she nursed them for 3 weeks They seem fine hopping all over the place
