Do you know how old the rabbit is? Give it some alfalfa hay and timothy hay. Also buy some alfalfa based rabbit pellets. Do not buy rabbit mix food that have seed and grains in them – just a plain pellet is best. Also provide a water sipper bottle and a small bowl of water and see which one it likes to drink from. It shouldn’t need milk – if it does, then it was too young to be away from the mother.  Some very young orphaned rabbits are given kitten or goats milk but after 5-8 weeks of age, milk (or any dairy) is not part of the normal diet.

This site has great info on rabbit care:https://www.binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/Diet/tabid/60/Default.aspx

Also, http://www.rabbit.org has great information.

first off do you; know how old he/ she is? do you have a cage for it? if not you can use a dog crate. you can use a cage made for rabbits but they are really expensive and they grow out of them real quick.

Hi,

You don’t say how old this baby is and whether it was weaned from its mother. How many weeks old is it? That makes a difference in what you will feed it.

I would suggest taking it to a vet immediately to have a diet plan recommended. The link above is an article from the House Rabbit Society website. Scroll down until you get to Orphaned Baby Bunnies. Read it from there (and read the rest later if you can.)

If you are talking about a 6-9 week old baby do not give it cat’s milk. Just give it a crock bowl of water, some alfalfa hay and a few gentle veggies, like parsley or green leaf lettuce. (Do not ever give Iceberg lettuce.)

Go up to the green banner on this page and mouse over the drop down menus. Read the sections on diet and care. There is a lot of info. on all the necessary topics for starting out with a bunny, especially a baby. I would also urge you to read the different sections on the HRS website. (www.rabbit.org) that I linked above.

Until we know more there’s not much else we can do, but a vet can help out immediately. Keep us posted.

On the critter care – this is a safe bedding for rabbits and some will nibble on it from time to time. You don’t want them filling up on it though. I think your rabbit is just looking for fibre. By giving it lots of hay and unlimited pellets – it should stop eating the bedding. Baby rabbits eat hay and pellets from quite a young age.

I also urge you to take your baby to a vet as soon as possible – you need an exam and a fecal test. I also think you would benefit greatly from having a vet to help you with this baby and advice you with some hands on help.
