Question
How often should I feed them? Mom won't. I fed them this morning with a dropper, but they are squeeking for more food.

Answer
Dear Missy

By now I hope you have found the many web sites out there on feeding orphaned rabbits.  But please see:

http://www.bio.miami.edu/hare/orphan.html

and  

http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/orphan.html

As my instructions clearly state, you must put "URGENT" in your subject line if there is a life-threatening problem, and yours certainly qualifies.  Because I get so many rabbit questions, I handle the emergency ones first.  I wish I had known sooner that you needed help with starving, orphaned rabbits, but that is not at all evident from your subject line.

I hope the babies are doing fine.
