please help bunnies live at stake

[Tanis Finney]

We have a baby hare I found it outside. I need to know what to feed it or
it might die.
Ps can't find parents

[Cellic]

You can't find the parents because they are probably hiding, saying "oh no!
Those people got junior!"

:)
Hares will only come back to a nest to feed the babies about once a day. Is it
a baby who was waiting patiently for his mommy to come feed him?
They only come once a day to feed the babies because they are afraid of
attracting attention and drawing predators toward their nest.
Can you put the little guy back where you found him?? Or was is most definitely
"not" his home?

>Hares will only come back to a nest to feed the babies about once a day.

Hares give birth to babies that are fully-furred and ready to run within
minutes of birth - much like a deer or an antelope. Their babies virtually
never need rescuing for any reason - they are able to take of themselves
practically from birth.
The cottontail and domestic rabbit are of a different genus than the hares.
But again, the babies virtually never need rescuing - Mom is close by,
watching and waiting, and only visiting under cover of darkness in most cases.

Dear Tanis,

I am sorry for the late reaction, but try milk suitable for baby-dogs.
The milk of rabbitmothers is verry fat and i suppose that haremilk is
fat also. In the Netherlands dogmilk is the closest milk. Putting the
baby-hare back to where it belong is not realistic, mum will not wait.

Greetings
