Serious Kit Advice needed

[chia_pet_06]

[align=center]Okay, i posted not to long agoabout my bunnies. I have a litter of 2 and a half week oldbunnies. The last few days when i have went out there...theyhave been out of their cage. They keep acting like theywant to nurse, and the mother won't let them. Is it okay ifwe give them a shallow container with water in it? i knowwith some baby animals they get sick if they drink actual water beforeso many days/weeks old. Thanks for the advice ahead oftime![/align]

I'd try a water bottle, if anything as they mayaccidentally drown. Is there any way you could hold down the mother andput the kits on her?

SHe is probably letting them nurse when no oneis around. Id say a water bottle too. Dont want them dumping a bowl andgetting all wet

If their bellies are taught and full, then she'sfeeding them, i'd give them some pellets and hay to nibble on aswell.........Bramble acted just like that when weaning hers as well.

Also, don't bunnies only nurse something like 5minutes a day? It's very possible that you're seeing the kitsto attempt to nurse when it's not dinner time.

At that age they are readyto start eating and drinking. I would put a non spillable water crock in with them.
