Bottle fed bunny

@Samantha drawz do you have any bottle feeding advice I have a doe who kindled 3 only 1 in the box. When I got there two were dead I just warmed up the 3rd but my success last time was minimal. What do you feed and how often?

I feed goats milk and I feed them for the first week every 1-2 hours very little at a time, just until tummies are full as over feeding is the leading cause of death. I also have a syringe from the squirrel store that has a rubber hose type thing that I push down their throats far enough to bypass chance of aspiration. Good luck

Thanks I found some powdered goats milk at the pet store, but so far I have been able to get mom to feed it I hold her on her back and it eats then I stimulate it. I don't think mom is making much milk but I figure the more moms milk it gets the better.

My bottle baby is now 3 days old I'm getting mom to feed him when I'm home and give him formula when I'm at work. He hangs out in his box most of the day but sometimes he hangs out in my pocket.

Good thing I work for my uncle and he doesn't mind me bringing him with.

YAY! so glad he is thriving so far!

He started at 2 1/4 ounces and today he is 2 1/2 ounces! Mom is still feeding him a little so that has been a big help. I am having a some trouble getting him to pee but other then that he is doing great!

Great news!

The little guy has officially gained one ounce he was a week old yesterday and refused to pee all day, I got up extra last night to try and get him to pee and nothing. Today is my day off and about ten this morning he peed on me, I have never been so happy to be peed on. Yesterday Roo decided she wasn't going to feed him anymore so he is completely bottle fed now but at least he got real milk for a week.

My dogs are very curious about what I am spending all my time doing lol
