So, you just bought your first baby rabbit and you want to know how to take care of it. You are in for a real treat with this pet. Bunnies can be so much fun, and they are very trainable! But, they have very sensitive tummies, so, it's important that you are careful how you feed them.
Baby bunnies are so adorable! Who can resist those little fuzzy faces? I know I can't! That is why I have learned quite a bit about raising baby bunnies. For the most part, you should let the mother rabbit take care of the babies for at least 2 months. They can be weaned a little sooner, as soon as 6 weeks. However, for a good solid healthy bunny, 2 months is a good time frame. If you are trying to rescue a baby bunny that has been taken from the mother, that is an entirely different article. If you have found a baby bunny, leave it where you have found it and check on it from time to time. Chances are, the mother will come and get it. She may have been in the process of moving her nest.
So, at two months old, you should feed them what ever rabbit food they were already eating. It's usually some sort of pellets. Baby bunnies have sensitive tummies, so, it is important not to give them any carrots or fresh green stuff until they are around 6 months old. And at that point, feed it cautiously, and slowly. Where ever your rabbit was for sale at, find out what sort of pellets they were feeding your sweet little critter. Make sure that if you can't get that brand, that you get about a gallon bag full from them. What ever brand you buy, you will give them half of the new stuff, and half of the old stuff until you run out of the old stuff. This should allow their tummies to get adjusted.
Another trick to get them used to the new water they are drinking is to add about a half a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to about a half a gallon of water. This will help them to get adjusted to the new water as well. Use sparingly, and enjoy your new baby bunny!!
