Baby Rabbits: From Newborn to First 4 Weeks of Life

Follow
Heart Song

This video shows the journey of baby rabbits, called kits, from their day of birth when I first found them in my rabbit's pen, through to 4 weeks of age.

These babies were the offspring of a Hotot Dwarf Rabbit mother, and a Lionhead cross (not full Lionhead) father. Two of them have their Mom's unique black eye ring. One is completely black in color which I believe comes through the father. They all seem to have something of a puffy mane face, which is a Lionhead trait.

They are born without fur, but their fur comes in quickly. They are born with eyes closed, and their eyes remain closed for about the first 1012 days. Once their eyes open, their adventures begin, as they start venturing out of their nest and around their enclosure.

Around 2 to 3 weeks of age, they start eating solid food, but their mother feeds them her milk in twice a day short feedings, generally until at least 4 weeks of age, sometimes longer.
