* Nutritional Needs: Cow's milk is formulated for calves, not rabbits. It has a different composition of fats, proteins, and sugars that a baby bunny's digestive system can't properly handle.
* Digestive Issues: Drinking cow's milk can lead to severe digestive problems in rabbits, including diarrhea, dehydration, and even death.
* Allergy: Some rabbits are allergic to cow's milk, which can cause further complications.
What should baby bunnies drink?
Baby bunnies should only drink their mother's milk. If the mother is unable to care for them, a qualified veterinarian or rabbit rescue organization can provide specialized formula designed specifically for baby rabbits.
Always seek professional advice from a veterinarian before attempting to feed a baby bunny.
