Desert Cottontail 14 Days Old [Rehabilitation]
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This little one appeared on my doorstep injured at approximately 5 days old. Eyes were closed, fur was fairly dark and a sibling nearby was dead. Normally it is best to leave babies alone, or re-nest. I could not locate a nest and we live at 6,600 feet elevation and a storm was blowing in, so under the guidance of two professional rehabilitators, I nursed this little cottontail. It is extremely difficult and the survival rate with a surrogate human is very low. These are very delicate creatures that require special formulation and typically do not survive without the mother's milk that changes during nursing to develop the digestive culture within the young. This video is made 8 days after finding him/her and I estimate the age to be 13 days old. It had just lightly snowed outside, so I let him/her exercise inside. I hope that it thrives and survives the next 2 weeks until I transition it back to its natural habitat. This bunny was on a special hand fed diet under the guidance of a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. The hay was just there for him/her to smell, not to eat. The bunny was fed 10% of its body weight in cc's the following mixture: 50% Zoologic® Milk Matrix 33/40 and 50% Zoologic Milk Matrix 30/52 and it was weighed 2 x per day.

ABSOLUTE !!! They are soo overcute! I have four dwarf Bunnies and one is an rescued wild Bunny. She is so kind, so tame and so playfull. I can´t live without animals! Animals are much much better than half of the damn mankind!
Can't believe this bunny is real. She/he looks like a wind up doll. Too cute!

When I found the bunny, he/she was smaller than a mouse and was on my concrete patio. During rehabilitation, the bunny would sleep on my belly nested in a cashmere hoody and gently experience the rhythm of my breath and heartbeat. The experience was as healing for me as it was for her/him. 💜

@@greghawkins549 Bunnies are so precious and I understand how they bring the magical feeling of healing. I have an Eastern Cottontail that lives in the courtyard of my apartment and all the tenants love her. She had babies last summer and unfortunately, some were killed by coyotes. Since then, she comes around on a daily for hay, carrots (I don't feed her too many baby carrots!) and leafy greens that I set under a tree. She knows me by now and we're pals. When I place her food out, she walks towards me and wiggles her nose as if she is talking to me. Rabbits are wonderful creatures. I love your rehab story in your description.

If they become tame, as some do, then they will live a much longer and happier life if you keep them.

IamTenzin transitioned to yard then transitioned to the 10,000 acres of our back yard. Saw him/her a few times then didn’t see again. So not sure if he/she lived much longer or was eaten by a predator .
