has anyone had experience with baby bunnies?

yikes, sad to hear that. I don't but, do you have a Vet you can call and ask?

Thanks

we do have a vet but I have already called two times this morning. (once when i found the dead baby, once when i brought them inside)
I didn't speak to a vet I spoke to a tech because there is only one vet right now (ours is on vacation) and they're really busy. I'm going to call them later though because they told me to keep them posted.

Thanks...
If you email her again, be sure to tell her they are nine days old :)
They can already eliminate by themselves, but I will use a heating pad under the towel for them.
We bought KRM to feed them and I will try to feed again in two hours. Thank you so much.

You know, as much as I don't like you, if you needed help with something that I knew about, I would help you.
This is hard enough for me. Thanks for making me feel that much worse.

I've had a lot of experience with very young kittens, and I'm also going to go with the heating pad suggestion. Put it inside a pillowcase, then put a towel over it so it doesn't get too hot, but make sure they can get to it and be warm. That's really important.

Until freedom rules the people of this land, instead of fear, love has about as much a chance as a baby bunny drowning in a vat of boiling water...



Sorry, I hope the baby bunnies are doing alright.

UPDATE!
When we went outside this morning to get Patches, she was standing in their old nest. We brought her inside and she fed them all :)
I takled to my friend who worked in a vet's office, and she told me that sometimes rabbits can get confussed and not know how to keep the babies warm and safe, which is what she thinks happened.
We are still bottle-feeding the runt a few drops every couble of hours as he is dehydrated, but it's nice that she will still feed them. I think it's because he knows us and knows my scent enought that she isn't going to abandon them.
It's day 10, so their eyes shoudl be opening soon.

Thank for everyone's advice :) I really really appreciate it. I was having a really bad day yesturday after finding them like all cold and not moving much and finding one dead but I really apreciate everyone trying to help.

Well, when I had domestic rabbits we always kept them in a cages inside the barn, and their cages had wooden houses so they could all hide and sleep in there......


However, my dog would sometimes discover baby cottentails in the pasture, (one he brought them to the house)and we used a heating pad to keep them warm and kept them in a box and we fed them with an eyedropper. Both times they grew up just fine, just be careful not to get the heating pad too hot!!!!!!

If it's too cold, then get them all out of the cold!!!!!!

Soon as they get bigger, I can assure you that they are a lot more fun!!!!!!

I think the whole thing about mothers not accepting their young when humans touch them really applies to birds, but I could be wrong......

At any rate with domesticated animals it's probably not as strong as with wild animals......

Are you letting the mother stay with them inside??????

Yay!! I'm so glad to hear that they're doing better.

Once I get batteries for my camera, I'll take some more pictures. There are picture in my fan photos of their first 5 days of life, but then my camera batteries died and I haven't gotten new batteries yet.
