What's the best food to feed my new 3-week-old baby rabbits?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your rabbit. I personally recommend Oxbow rabbit food. They make a formula for baby rabbits. If this is available in your country or online, it would be a good diet choice. I hope this information helps!

It's best to just feed them grass, hay and pellets for baby rabbits until they are about three months old. After that, you can start feeding some greens, parsley and other fruits and vegetables. However, you do not want their diet to be more than 10% of these greens, fruits and vegetables. The diet should continue to be mostly grass and hay.

You will need to add some heavy whipping cream to that milk for it to be suitable for rabbits. I suggest you refer to this article on how to care for baby rabbits. ( https://www.mybunny.org/info/caring-for-newborn-baby-rabbits/ )

That's fine, as long as they are kept warm. Does (female rabbits) typically nurse once or twice daily. The kits (bunnies) will begin munching on hay within the next few days. They can eat alfalfa (until 7 months of age), timothy hay or oat grasses and fresh vegetables in addition to a commercial pelleted diet.

Hello, again. There is hardly any nutrition in your homemade formula, & the rabbit will starve to death if you do this. If the baby rabbit is still nursing, it needs milk until it can switch to a herbivore diet. If you are unable to provide for the rabbit perhaps you can find a rescue who can properly provide what the rabbit needs. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for your follow up questions about Julius. It sounds like there are a lot of unsuitable baby foods around that would not be good for Julius, so I am glad that you asked! Ideally, if you are going to feed a vegetable baby food, it should ONLY contain the vegetable and no additional sugar or dairy, and we don't want any sugary vegetables (i.e. carrots). Therefore, I would not recommend any that contain corn, sweet potato, milk, or carrots. This may limit your options to spinach or green beans. An alternative would be to grind up pellets (in a coffee grinder for example) and add water to them. This can then be syringe fed to Julius. This will provide more fiber than baby food, which may result in less GI upset than the baby food will. I hope that this answers your question, and please feel free to ask others if needed!
