Wild baby bunnies!! Help?

Posted at: 2014-11-15 
Are their eyes open? This makes a difference in what you do. Mama rabbits only feed 2 or 3x a day anyway. If they still have their eyes closed, feed them about 3cc's of evaporated Goat's Milk (at most stores, near the evaporated milk) with a nipple or eyedropper. DO NOT shoot the milk into the mouth, since it might go to their lungs and cause fatal pneumonia. Kind of let it drip in, with patience. If their eyes are open you can feed them DARK greens (no iceberg lettuce). Pull up a dandelion (root and all) and put it in with them-- dirt included. They will eat clover, kale. spinach and the like. When their eyes are open; their ears are standing up and they're about the size of your fist they are ready to be on their own. Release them where there is plenty of low cover. You have chosen a difficult task. Good Luck!!

If they are scared, they must have their eyes open and teeth in their mouths. They can eat solid food and run around. Young helpless bunnies are not scared.

If they can hop around and eat solid food, you can put them back and keep your dog away from them.

If you decide they are not ready for release, Kim gave excellent advice.

So two days ago my dog dug up a wild baby bunny nest and the dog chased the mom out of the yard as we are putting the babies back in the nest and putting the dried grass and fur over them and we waited two days for the mom to come take care of them but the nest didn't look like it was moved or the mom went to them, than today my dog decided to try and attack them again so we finally got a shoe box, put them in it and their nest. we don't know what to do.. their really scared and we don't know what to do. Please help!! How do you take care of them?? What do I feed them??
