Feeding baby rabbits is a crucial aspect of their care, ensuring their proper growth and development. Newborn rabbits, known as kits, are entirely dependent on their mother’s milk for nourishment. As they mature, they gradually transition to a diet of hay, pellets, and fresh vegetables.
The mother rabbit’s milk is rich in nutrients and antibodies, providing the kits with essential sustenance and protection against diseases. During the first few weeks of life, kits nurse frequently, up to 8-12 times per day. As they grow older, their nursing frequency decreases, and they begin to explore solid food options.
