Question
My son brought home this baby rabbit he bought, and didn't write down what to feed him, I bought a book but it doesn't focus on babies only adults ..what is the best way to care & feed this little guy?

Answer
They can be fed the same as adults.  Just make sure that he has as much timothy hay as he could possibly want.  He can have a small amount of veggies but you need to give them just a couple at a time and in limited quantities to make sure he can tolerate them.  You can find a list of safe veggies at http://www.rabbit.org.

Good luck with your new pet!
