Either a bottle or your breasts. To breast feed your baby, uncover your breast, then put the baby's mouth on your nipple. The baby will form a natural clamp and start suckling and get milk, formulated by your body for baby. If you do not want to feed your baby naturally by breast feeding, milk formulas can be purchased to feed baby by a bottle with a teat on the end of it to replicate natural feeding. When baby advances there are specially formulated follow on milks and solid foods. It is up to you and how your baby is progressing as to when you make the step change to other foods. You will know when the natural step change process occurs and when baby is ready to move on.

A mother rabbit feeds her babies once or twice a day. If you are attempting to feed an orphaned baby on a bottle you will need to feed it 3 or 4 times a day (space out evenly). Don't forget the other MAMA duties. Stimulate the baby rabbit to urinate by rubbing it's genitalia GENTLY with a warm water dipped cotton ball. The mother rabbit does this until the baby is able to remember to do this itself at about 10 days to 2 weeks of age.

Feed the newborn rabbit Rabbit Milk Replacer or you can substitute that with Kitten Milk Replacer ( KMR ) Feed every twelve hours. NO MORE THEN THAT!!! Hold the newborn at a 40 degree angle. Feed 2-2 1/2 ML/CC for 5min. This is of course if the babies are orphaned. If not then leave them with their mom. If bottle feeding don't forget to stimulate them so that they will go to the bathroom.
