Day 13, 8/8
One of them open its eye this morning.
So happy!!!
Hopefully the rest will open their eyes as well in the coming week.
They still looks bit skinny but they have energy to hoop around and drink milk.
I added goat double cream in their milk and there is no negative reaction from it.
This should adds some fat and additional calories for the bunnies

Awesome!

I've raised rabbits in the past but like @MountainGaurdian have never been successful in bottle feeding. Following to figure out what you're doing that I didn't Keep us updated

Everybody has opened their eye!!

 

[ButtonquailGirl14]

Yay!

What is your "secret" to bottle feeding?
Picture of the bottle/nipple you used, please
Formula
Did you keep them with the Doe, removing only to feed?
Or did you separate from Doe?

I'm just wondering, have attempted it several times but they never survived. A friend just went through bottle feeding, it survived a week than passed. Frustrating.
Congratulations with your success

Will give a summary of what I did if they survived to 8 weeks as they are only 2 weeks old it is still too early to tell.
I am tried many different types of milk bottle and syringe, the best I found is 1ml syringe + a small nibble (mikki mothering kit, only the nibbles are good, the syringe it came with is rubbish).
I use cat milk replacement (Lactol, Cimicat, Royal canin) + goat milk + goat double cream, making a quite thick formula.
I removed the Doe completely as I am scared she is going to hurt them. I have confirmed for the first 3 days she has not attempted to go near to them and confirmed she has no milk. I separated her with the babies completely. I keep them in my bedroom from day 3 evening - now. The average room temperature is around 23c+.
I cleaned out their nest bedding everyday and refilled it again (quite deep) so they can dig into it if it’s cold or come out if it’s hot. I think 8 of them makes temperature not a big issue as they can snuggle for heat.
I am feeding them a tiny bit of probiotics from now, as they are showing some interest to hay, probiotics may help them digest.

They are so adorable. I thought bottle raising 6 orphan lambs at a time was hard but nothing compared to rabbits. I hope they survive.
