Need help with some orphaned babies please.

I'm so sorry! I know how it feels when you try so hard and hope for the best and lose 1 or 7. I lost 7 because a done orphaned them. It was hard for me as silly as it may seem. At least you tried and you did all you could for them. Just keep that in mind and your chin up. Your doing good.

Thanks,i appreciate you saying so.I really didnt have alot of confidence she would make it but i tried.Still say something was going on in her hind end.Just didnt seem right.Im alot more confident about the other 2.I'll keep you all updated..

Sorry to hear about the little one, but I kind of expected it. I learned a long time ago that the ones that don't keep up with their siblings frequently don't live very long.

Keep a close eye on the other two. You could be dealing with something contagious, like coccidia.

KyRose, BunnyLady has a good point regarding Cocci. Keep an eye on their poo. Your two remaining kits should be dropping nice round little rabbit berries. If the berries are looking slimy or goo-y then you could be looking at Cocci. Relatively easy to treat and there are a couple threads in the rabbit disease section on treating Cocci.

Sorry to hear about the runt. The Lord loves a tender heart, but that is the one that gets hurt. I can't imaging what my life would be without my animals.

Thanks everyone.Its nice to talk to people who are like me with the animals.My dh's family think im nuts. So far their poo's look ok to me.They both have pretty good appitites and drink water.They really dont show to much nterest in the pellets,but they seem to really love the quaker oats.Again thanks for all the input,and i'll keep you all updated..

I havent updated in a while,so i thought i should.The last 2 are doing great.If the people who gave them to me were some what accurate with their ages,they should be around a month old.The vet said if they make it a month,they should be fine.Still deciding if i should keep them.People around here like to eat rabbits(im not judging)but after saving them from death and someones dinner plate im not thrilled about rehoming.I dont no if i mentioned it before but i found out they are new zealands.
