Any advise or tips please

[b]The person we got the kittens from (and I still havent forgiven him for that) has found 3 wild bunns it seems the mother had been run over and was at the side of the road there were more babbies but they ran off I havent seen them but the sound very small will fit on the palm of his hand. He has phoned the vet's up who have advised he tries to give them some hay which he came round to see if we had any I was quite reluctant as I am down to my last six bails thats about half an hours worth if Fizz was let near it also the vet said that if they wont take the hay they would need milk so any advise would be gratefully recieved Ann wont let me go and see them but I can just imagane who is going to end up with them

I think that there is a guide to feeding somewhere in the stickys.

I would give the RSPCA a ring and find out if there is a wild animal rescue centre nearby that could take them.

I would give the RSPCA a call too.

Poor buns x

See this link should help x

That sticky is the best advice I've come across with regards to hand rearing, the hardest part with wildies is establishing their age. They tend to wean earlier than domestic babies, and the older they are the better their chance of survival.

A wildlife centre would give them the best possible shot.

I have no advice I'm afraid but I wish you luck, please keep us updated

[b]Sooz do you know of a wildlife centre in the area??

The RSPCA should know - or you could try asking the local wildlife trust it they know of someone.

[b]That Flo Bunn justs looks like my Rosie she lovely

I am hoping for your sake that your Rosie is less of a headcase than my Flo Bunn!

I dont have much advice, I mean like Sooz says they generally wean earlier so it really depends how old they are as to whether or not they can just about make it on their own or whether they need intervention. I except its the latter.

I hope someone can help! x

Please let us know how it goes dear, updates would be great.

Hugs

I know Angie at BARC (who deals with the rabbits) has experience with hand rearing wildies if that's any help?

I have raised 1 wildie and I found at the time (many years ago) the RSPCA were not very helpful at all. I am sure things may be different now.
If you can find a wildlife centre that would be the best , it can be very hard work and sadly they don't always survive , you have to be very careful that you don't flood their tummies if you hand rear.

Found this if it's of any help http://www.debmark.com/rabbits/faq/wild.htm

This was my boy KC. I couldn't return him to the wild as he had become to tame. These were taken in March 1990.

[b]Thanks I will pass the link on I havent seen the bunns whilst they are our next door nabours they are around 1/4 mile away I did speek to one of there children yesterday and was told they seem to be dooing well on kitten milk (the Bunns not the kids). I will try this weekend to have a walk round and try and get some picks and probably try and bunnap them. I also think that if any family can help these poor little Bunns its them they are a family with 4 children that love all animals and wildlife the mother home educates the children and I have never come accross sutch polite and helpfull kids. I only realy found out about them when they asked us if we could look after the kittens for them and looked on there website. Even with the sort of things I put on here it suprises most people to know I am a very shy pearson that keeps myself to myself and cant talk and make small talk face to face (not like Ann who never shuts up) so I will find it quite hard to go round and see them daft I know .

[b]Nock at the door earlyer and the bloke from round the back had brought one off the Bunns round for me to have a look at it was so lively and extra rations of cuteness about 4" in size they are being fed on kitten milk around every two hours they seem to be doing very well and the family have done loads of research so lets hope for the best

How lovely that he popped round to let you know how the babies were doing

I'm glad that they seem to be ok

But I can't believe you didn't get us a piccie

[b]Will do this weekend they are borrowing an old cage that we had daisy in so one of the preconditions will have to be a photo shoot

I third it!!!

A doe had 2 separate litters right outside the door of my old work. The babies were the cutest little things!! She would come and stand over the entrance to the burrow and the babies would pop up to feed from her. I was a nervous wreck when they started venturing out. I had to keep running outside to tell all the trucks to slow down

[b]Wat you mean like these not easy as the little monsters were running about all over







Nooooo your not a bunny

Oh how sweet! They look like they are thriving at the moment.

What's the story with the wee bird imposter?

[b]They incubate and hatch out the eggs they have chickens and ducks roaming around the one in the photo is only a couple of days old. The bunns seem to be thrieving they are getting milk every two hours even through the night these really were the right family to find the bunns and fingers crossed they will all be OK

Aww! Well it sounds like they are doing really well so I'll keep my fingers crossed for them all, it takes real dedication to hand rear, and very special people!

They look a decent size so hopefully they'll be ok
