Hi MrBunny&Babs! Welcome to BB! I’m sorry you’re having issues. I know your worried, so I will attempt to help you a bit. Mama bunnies often stay away from the nest and only return once or twice per day to feed the babies. They do this so attention isn’t brought to the nest since they are prey animals. I’m not sure at what age babies start “trying” solid foods, but I know they will start nibbling on things at a pretty young age. This doesn’t mean that they don’t still need mama’s milk though. Babies are not weaned until they are 8 weeks. Hopefully that helps you a bit. I’m going to post the forum rules below since we don’t allow discussions on breeding and baby bunnies.
• Accidental Litters: We do not have the experience to advise you. We do not allow ongoing threads on the matter because the information then goes out to google search results, inviting more of the same. Only a couple of members have some experience with this, but we are unable to make sure the advice given is reliable; we are not a site or forum that has a wealth of experience in this matter and it would be better for your bunnies to find reliable resources for pregnant/nursing does and their babies. Please visit Resources and scroll to “Oops Surprise Litter”. Other forums like Rabbitsonline.net, that cater to a broader range of experience, may also be of help. (Your post may locked or deleted once resources are given.) And of course, be sure to seek vet care and advice. Do not use the forum to give or sell bunnies as well. Since we don’t allow prolonged discussions regarding this, the thread will be locked. We hope you will find the above resources useful. Please feel free to to ask about other aspects of caring for your bunny!
Do not post pictures of the litters unless you plan on keeping them.(or whichever one or so you plan to keep). Please refer to D-1 for rules about photos.
I’m going to lock this now. Good luck!
