Bottle Feeding A Baby

Our newest arrivals to Rlittlefarm were 7 rabbit kits. They were born on August 6th. On August 9th, the littlest runt passed away, and today, I had to begin bottle feeding the next smallest. In comparison to its siblings, this little one was still tiny and wrinkled, with weak coordination. Sure we could let nature do its course and take a wait and see approach, but we decided to supplement with kitten milk replacement. While it rested between feedings, I was also able to cradle it inside my tank top. We may only need to supplement for a little while, just enough to regain its strength to have a fighting chance of nursing fairly amongst the others.

Update: this little runt, which we named, Master Sheefoo, passed away after a long and hard battle to survive. It's nature's plan I guess. RIP Master Sheefoo 8/6/2012-8/16/2012
