you should buy a milk formula at a pet store and bottle feed it. bunnies will start to eat solid food when they are within a month old so when you are bottle feeding it if it ever starts to bite the bottle a lot and if you can see little teeth in its mouth you should start feeding it soft stuff like lettuce or cabbage (no carrots) and you should continue bottle feeding it but not as much. as it gets older you can start giving it harder stuff to eat like carrots and rabbit food you can buy at a pet store and you should also start to give it water to drink instead of milk. you should put in a box with soft grass or shredded paper with cotton balls because at 11 days old it could have a very thin fur coat or no fur at all. in the wild pregnant females pull out their own fur and make a nest out of it for the babies to stay in. by 1 month old it should be able to eat normal rabbit food and it will have a thick enough coat to stay in a normal cage without and cotton balls and stuff like that. because its only 11 days old its normal for it to be shakey when it walks.How do i care for an 11 day old baby rabbit??
You can give it KMR or ESBILAC as a replacement milk. just feed it through a syringe with about 3cc's in it. feed it once a day at night at the same time every day. rabbits only feed their kits once a day for about 10 minutes. hope this helps
Rabbits are mamals and need to nurse from their mothers. Some pet stores carry commercial ';milk';. I don't know if this will work for your bunny, most bunnies are very high stress. Their hearts can beat quite quickly. If the shelter won't take him, have you tried a rehab centre for animals?


Bunnies don't last long without their mommies...
