Thread: Look what got left on my door step!

Good on ya. We rescued a feral cat and hand raised it. It is a pain, but worth it.

Glad to hear things are working out so far! Do you have a heating pad for them? I remember my mom filling a rubber hot water bottle and putting it inside a stuffed animal when she was looking after a couple of kittens, perhaps something similar would work for little bunnies too.

Please keep posting updates, I'm rooting for the little guys!

Your a good man for taking them in. Please make sure to update how they are doing. I am a huge animal lover. I have 8 dogs myself. almost as many dogs as razors.

I should have updated this thread; however, I have been feeling fairly down about the whole situation.

The baby rabbits all passed away yesterday morning. The first went at 5.30am, second and third at 7.30, fourth and fifth at 10.30.

I really thought I was getting somewhere with them. They were all feeding, etc. I guess they were just too young.

I contacted a local vet and was told that only 10% of baby rabbits that are hand reared survive -- In many respects the chance was minimal.

I gave it my best shot and I would do it all again. (I once spent all night rubbing a rabbits belly that was suffering from GI stasis -- we still have him).

If they had been a few days older, we may have had a different set of circumstances.

Anyway, thanks for all your support and comments. I really appreciate it all!
