Making up the milk replacer: To make 40mL of milk: Mix 2 level scoops of powder (14g) with 25mL of warm water. To make 500mL of milk: Mix 180g of powder with 330mL of warm water. Add half the water to the powder first and mix to a paste. Then add the remaining water and mix thoroughly. Pre-boil the water to ensure it is sterilised. Milk can be stored in the fridge for up to a day or can be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Feeding guide for kits: Warm milk to about 35°C. Feed from a bottle with teat, a C Teat or P Teat is recommended. In emergency cases tube feeding may be required. Rabbit milk is very high in energy and kits need only be fed twice a day (morning & evening). Stimulate young kits to defecate and urinate after each feed. Kits may be encouraged to lap once their eyes are open. To avoid dehydration during periods of hot weather give drinks of pre-boiled water between feeds. Always offer kits drinking water once their eyes are open and they become active.
