    Rabbits
    I didnt know where to put this..
    but im taking care of a few animals atm.

    i picked up 2 husky pups that need care.
    3 ball pythons( no big deal)
    and 4 rabbits.

    i went to feed the rabbits and one had 6 babies.

    she doesnt have anything to do with them. i need advice. they are cold, but still alive. i really wanna help these fellows.

    any advice would help!

    I've never had to deal with rabbits abandoning their young, but maybe you could bottle-feed them kitten starter formula?

    Bunnies can be hard to deal with on their own. I would contact a local rehabber / vet to see what can be done for them.

    i found the board this goes under. sorry for the wrong section.

    i need to get them warmth asap. then go from there.

    this is first rabbits i have had since i was little. never dealt with babies :/

    One of my friends goes to an exotic vet for her rabbits, maybe give yours a call and see if you can get some formula? Or recommendations on a kind you can pick up? Staying warm is a good start (don't see how a tub in a rack system wouldn't work, stick 'em in a blanket partially over the basking spot maybe?)

    That is sad to hear. They may have been premature with the stress of moving on the mom? That may explain why she would not nurse them.
