Question
hi my name santi would like to know why my baby rabbits al died an the last two of my rabbits died i ont know was it because of kitty milkthat i fed them with

Answer
Dear Santi,

You have not given me very much information, so please tell me the following:

1.  Were these orphaned baby rabbits you were raising by hand?
2.  How old were they?
3.  Did they show any signs of illness (lethargy, diarrhea, unwillingness to eat, etc.) before they died?

There are thousands of possible reasons baby rabbits can die, and without more specific information I cannot be of much help.  Please see:

and

for some possible explanations.

I hope this helps.
