If it doesn’t have teeth it needs bunny milk at that age, bunnies can die from so many foods when they are before 8-12 weeks old.
I wonder if cow milk works? Idk, call a shelter or preferably a vet and ask them what to do man! We’ve got 2 grown up bunnies at my place and they are incredible once they get bonded & get comfortable around you.
I’m in love with a bunny.

a bunny, and at that age prolly as good as dead in civilian care if it was genuinely in your driveway, maybe take it to a vet if you found it in a nest in a bush in your yard, put it back and hope that rabbits do not actually reject young based on foreign smells
once ran over a nest of bunnies a few weeks older than that when doing lot mowing for the town in my youth one shredded apart, caught the panicked other one and took it home because the alternative was leaving it in a lot with no more standing grass for it to hide in we gave it food and water and stuff and tucked it safely in a kennel it died within 24 hours

Either find the mother bunny which is probably near impossible or you need to feed it with a tiny tiny bottle or syringe.
Rabbits cannot drink cow milk as they cannot digest it.
Quote:
Kitten Milk Replacer Baby rabbits should be fed Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR) or goat milk, which you can buy at pet stores, or sometimes even a local veterinarian's office. Because rabbit milk is the most caloric of all mammals, we add in one tablespoon of 100% heavy whipping cream (no sugar) to each can of KMR.
Baby rabbits are very difficult to care for if you don't know what you are doing. My rabbit had a litter, but wasn't nursing and they all died. Tried feeding them by hand, and it wasn't enough.

What did you use to feed?
I don't remember what milk I fed them. This was 3 years ago, but I think I used a syringe and it was tough thinking I was drowning them.

I know the Walmart and the Dollar Store sell kitten milk. Not at every location but with the Dollar Store/Dollarama it's in most of them. Whiskas specifically in a little purple tetra pak thingy. I know because I've bought from there and remarked probably a million times "wtf is that doing there." I have no idea if it's as high of quality as some in pet shops or at the vet but it might be worth a look if you're dedicated. Honestly you should have left them alone but I understand where you're coming from. I say this because I know two things about rabbits, one is that they tend to reject or even consume young that has a human scent on it. And two, rabbits move around a lot because of predators. She was either actively rejecting them or it was in the driveway because it lives there/it was on the move. If you're a bunny all you can do is carry one at a time to where you want to go and they might do that a few times a day. They're super vulnerable when they have babies, my cats always eat a bunch of them every year and they're almost always young.

No. I' won't feed them. They are so small that I could burst their stomach if I pushed too hard on the plunger of the milk syringe...
I did what most sites that suggested: Put them back outside so their mother care for them if she comes back. Kinda sucks to put them outside with cats and shit... It's the best way to save them...

Yeah I caught a baby rabbit living under my collard greens this spring.
It was 3 weeks old just old enough to survive. I wanted to keep it but I set it free.
And then a week later that little fukker was eating my clover! But I let it.. HAHA!

In the future, do not pick it up unless it is in imminent danger it is possible the mother was carrying it, panicked and ran away, then found it later with your scent on it and killed it herself
yay the road to hell being paved with good intentions
if it is in imminent danger, get it to a vet immediately
am aware that you wish you had a pet squirrel, but you are a thoroughbred city boy who does not have the skillset to see that aspiration through
hell, even as someone who grew up around farms and helping birth goats and stuff would not consider myself to be in a place to raise and tame a squirrel it is not impossible, just an animal of a different nature
(the woman who babysat me on the farm in my youth even had a pet raccoon at one point that drank from a bottle and wore a diaper when it was young)

All that "the mother will reject its young if they smell human" is an old wives tale from what I've learned over the years.
Quote:
Old Wives Tale: "If you touch a baby the mother will smell the human scent on them and will reject or kill it." This is one of the most common myths we hear and it is absolutly untrue. This is most commonly heard in reference to birds. The reality is, very few birds in the world have any sense of smell at all and those who do smell either do not live in the US, or use their sense of smell to find rotting flesh, so human smell would not really bother them. With mammals this is not true either. The mom may think their baby smells gross, and give it a huge bath, but she will not reject or kill it.
In most cases, the best help you can give to a baby is to put it back where its mother can find it.
Quote:
Bunnies: Many people think they have found orphaned bunnies when they find babies alone. Mother rabbits leave their young most of the day, only coming back to feed them a few times, mostly at dawn and dusk. If you find a bunny that you think is in need of help, try to locate its nest. If the nest is intact, put the bunny back. If a bunny is fully furred and has its eyes open, its probably old enough to make it on its own. If you find a baby bunny who does not have its eyes open, and you cannot find its nest, it does need help.
If you find a nest that is seriously disturbed, try to put it back together, but DO NOT move it! Mother bunnies expect their nest to be exactly where they left them. Moving them as far as just a foot can ensure that mom won't return.
Understand that raising orphaned bunnies without experience is very tricky. Even many experienced rehabilitators will tell you it is nearly impossible to keep them alive. This is due to the fact that they need the cecotropes from a female rabbit each day. This is the reason that only rehabilitators with adult female rabbits in permanent residents are usually successful at rehabilitating bunnies.
Also, if you find an orphan in need, please do not keep it in temperatures above 80 degrees as this can be deadly.

Thanks for the update am familiar with a lot of mammalian species that eat their young for various reasons but the bath if able to find it makes good sense
the eating of just the head does not make sense from a predation point tho cats will consume lesser bones and organs and eat 90% of a corpse (my cat Bits does it all the time with mice, small birds, and the occasional bunny when the weather is nice enough for her to be out) dogs will more or less eat something that size whole owls eat everything then vomit the bones and stuff back up in a pellet
but yeah, birds are another good example of typically don't go near them often the age that they seem to have "fallen" from the nest is the age they are learning to fly

What about the one you found?
You didn’t say how their heads got ripped off. You said it in a suspiciously passive tense, like maybe you ripped their heads off then “oh look their heads got ripped off’

It was probably a hawk of some kind of bird. Too heavy to carry off in one piece so they shredded them.

if this means the one I found in my youth ran over a nest that was in long grass using the town's riding mower going through the lot that became the ice rink in the winter was doing another lap and saw the dead bunny cut into pieces on the ground; it was pretty horrible, it's head was half sawed off its body, the front of its nose had been cleaved off and its guts were spilling out of cuts in its torso but it was laying there with a look of intense fear in its eyes and seemed to be still breathing somewhat so I backed up and ran over it with the tire to crush it with the weight of the mower

looked around, saw another running in panicked circles in the last patch of grass due for me to mow carefully scooped it up, drove the mower back to my house, put it in a kennel until Mom got home to help care for and feed it then drove the mower back out and finished up

Fair Bits is a fat ass, all she ever leaves is a blood stain, an organ or two (think the liver for birds?), and some scattered feathers/hair am honestly under the impression she just eats the majority of the feathers in the process even

I wouldn't say that scent based rejection is an old wives tale as much as it's not as common as it is suggested. It's definitely real, it happens. It's the weighing of risk that is the issue. Don't wanna maybe take care of a baby bunny for weeks and weeks? Maybe wear some gloves. Which is fairly common practice in cuniculture(rabbit husbandry) because rabbits can and will consume their young if necessary. Especially the males. This is very common among rodents and rodent-relatives(yes I know bunnies are lagomorphs not rodents)

Lol, cats can have some pretty odd quirks. I used to have a cat that'd catch what looked like the same mouse almost every day over the span of about a month or two. My cat was fat, and couldn't move fast, but so was the mouse...I kind of get the feeling it was a game they played, because my cat (Toonces - RIP) never killed it, but just gently held it in his mouth, and would then drop it, and watch it run around some more.

Bits was feral for a few years at least before Mom and Merlin took her in so she's got that background of hunting to survive the winter and stuff just now she'll kill and eat something in the garage, then come inside and beg for canned food on top of it

My bunnies cannot eat meat & even certain veggies and fruits without dying. Their digestive track is different, delicate and specialized. Just farting can be a big deal & the buildup of gas can kill them at times.

At least you've got squirrels. In Australia we've got possums instead. These aren't like opossums. They get in your roof, make a hella ruckus and also piss on everything and it stains like bitch. Stinks too.

So possums are more like squirrels than they are like opossums?

Opossum babies are cute when they’re just learning to come out of the pouch. The adults are ugly as fuck.

I had an encounter with a baby fox who was pretty curious about me and I almost reached out to pet him cause he looked like a puppy. I ripped his head off.

I don't know much about opossums to be honest. but that link sounds nothing like the possums here other than the ruckus. Possums don't chew up wires and stuff. That sound more like rats to me. I've never had rats, but i've had mice and i presume rats are like mice but bigger. Possums will make your whole house stink from their piss.

yeah squirrels in the roof/attic are more just a nuisance and have potential to cause fire hazards (frayed wiring + insulation) they nest there long enough the attic will smell of musky rodent shit, but it does not funk up the rest of the house also not terribly common practice for them, if they can just find a tree trunk or something instead

Had a dream last night of a ghostly green wolf chasing myself and a friend and it went to pounce on her, grabbed it around the neck and pulled its head off
it came apart like gooey green gummy bears, and thought it was my subconcious telling me to lay off the Sour Patch Kids that Mom bought me a bunch of for my birthday
but now your post reminded me of it

Once kangaroos gets in the roof it's hard to remove them. they're out of bounds.

Wildlife rehabilitation facility. Might have to take a little drive out to your nearest one. Bunnies are so fragile though. Sorry in advance if the lil dude doesn't make it.
