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

I tired to take a bunny that was older then that, it got caught in a trap and I took it home, it died pretty quickly

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...

Well it looks super fat so it probably was just recently fed, but definitely find a store that sells as quickly as possible
