So cute. We had friends that released a bunch of bunny's, they found a nest and gave them to us. They were 2 weeks old and had not had any milk of grass for almost a week. We bottle fed them goats milk till they were big and fat. They were so sweet.

Pockets is 4 weeks old today, he eats pellets and hay but still gets goats milk 3 times a day, tomorrow we are going to work on drinking water. I think I have found him a home they are researching rabbits so I'm hoping it works out because I'll be able to see him from time to time.

Here he is escaping the cage to get to me

5 weeks 4 days and Pockets is gone. He was fine this morning when I fed him and put him outside. When I got home from work he was stiff in the cage. :hit
RIP my litte Pockets

Sad to hear that. Strange too. Usually out of the infancy death rate troubles by weaning time. Mine are usually drinking water at two weeks to twenty days. Did he drink water for you between the four week mark and today? Regardless, sorry for your loss. I know you were pretty close with Pockets.

He was drinking water just fine I just couldn't get him to drink from a water bottle so I used a dish just like for his milk
