How do you care for rabbits at 2 weeks?

Rabbits at 2 weeks old are incredibly fragile and require very specialized care. They are completely dependent on their mother for survival. You should never attempt to raise a rabbit this young without the assistance of a qualified veterinarian or experienced rabbit breeder. Here's why:

* Nursing: At 2 weeks, baby rabbits (kittens) rely entirely on their mother's milk for nutrition and antibodies.

* Temperature Regulation: They have poor temperature regulation and can easily become chilled.

* Hygiene: Their mother keeps them clean and stimulates their bowel movements.

If you find orphaned or abandoned rabbit kittens at 2 weeks old:

* Seek immediate veterinary help: A vet can assess their health and advise on the best course of action.

* Do not attempt to feed them: Incorrect milk formula can be fatal.

* Keep them warm: Provide a warm, draft-free environment, mimicking the warmth of a nest.

* Contact a rabbit rescue organization: They may have experienced foster parents who can help.

Important Note: It's extremely difficult to successfully raise a rabbit kitten this young without specialized care. The chances of survival are much higher if they are with their mother.
