baby rabbits only need to be fed once a day<\/a><\/strong>, unlike cats or dogs. They tend to be fed either early in the morning, or late at night when humans and predators are sleeping. By staying away from their burrow, they prevent predators from picking up the scent of rabbits. This helps keep their burrow, and their babies, safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRabbits do not stay with their burrow during the day because this will very likely attract predators. <\/strong>Rabbits will roam and search for food away from their litter, and then come back. However, if the kits have been weaned and can find food outside of the burrow by themselves, the mother rabbit might not come back to the burrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you find a burrow filled with rabbits, do not remove them immediately.<\/strong> Wait until the next day and check in periodically. If they are being fed regularly, then the kits will be warm and seem well-fed. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you find a burrow and the kits are not warm or well-fed,<\/strong> contact your local veterinarian or shelter for instructions on what to do next. However, kits can be fully weaned at 4 weeks old<\/strong>, so they may not need to be fed every day by their mother.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rabbits sleep a lot during the day, but they are not nocturnal.
