My cat just brought in 2 newborn baby rabbits, they’re under 10 days.

on one of them it looks like she bit into its back a few times, i’ve cleaned him and let him rest. it’s been a day but he won’t drink any of the milk we have in the fridge.

this second one is much younger but it looks like she bit him right under his eye, he looks really young and i’m not sure if he’ll make it.

is there anything i should do specifically that will them? i have no idea where their mother or the rest of the babies are.

Baby rabbits should be fed Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) or goat milk, which you can buy at pet stores, or sometimes even a local veterinarian’s office. Because rabbit milk is the most caloric of all mammals, we add in one tablespoon of 100% heavy whipping cream (no sugar) to each can of KMR. Most kits will not nurse from the baby animal bottles you can buy at stores. Instead, use a sterile oral syringe, which can be purchased at most pharmacies.

It is best to feed baby rabbits no more than twice a day, but sometimes it takes more feedings to get an adequate amount into them, especially at first.You may loosely wrap baby in a soft face cloth or hand towel and lay it on your lap or in the crook of your arm. If bunny will NOT eat this way, of course, do the best you can. It is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL to let the baby eat at it’s own pace—especially if it is not suckling from the syringe willingly. If you squirt the liquid in too quickly you can aspirate (get liquid in) the lungs and the rabbit will suffocate.Baby rabbit eyes open at about 10 days of age. You may start introducing them to hay and pellets at this point, but no veggies or fruits yet. Just leave some timothy or orchard and alfalfa hay and pellets in a corner of the box where the babies can easily get to them.

Hope this helps and best of luck to you and the rabbits.

i would suggest to take them to a type of rehabilitation center or a rescue that is local they would not be able to eat milk that is not their mothers or specifically made for rabbits. I would also look around the general are where you think the nest might be located and sometimes it looks like just a dead spot of grass. i'm also not sure even if you returned the baby rabbits to their mother if she would care for them as your cats scent and yours along with many other scents would be on them. Is it possible your cat might have gotten after the mother or the rest of the babies without your  knowledge? I think the best option would to find someone who knows how to care for rabbits or has baby rabbits to care for them as they might have the knowledge needed. You are so kind for looking out for the baby bunnies I hope they survive and no matter what happens to them you are doing your absoulte best to give them a fighting chance and you are an amasing person for that <3 :)
