rabbit kit question

[laurab852]

while we have been breeding rabbits for several years, we have never had a mom die. I now have 4 31day old kits with no mom. Can they make it on feed alone? We usually pull them at 6 weeks, so will the 2 weeks be to long with no mother?

I would think they would be OK if they are eating. You might put a little Calf Manna with their pellets. There used to be a product made for orphan foals called Foal Lac or somesuch. It was a pelleted feed and one of its main ingredients was dried milk. You might see if it is available or maybe put a little powdered milk with the pellets.
