Feeding unwanted babies bunny

Question
Dear Dr,

The mama rabbits is not producing milk to feed it's babies? I have tried to press the milk gland of the mama rabbit.No milk came out. The babies are quite dehydrated & their skin looks wrinkled. How do I prepare special milk formula to feed the little bunnies? They are 2 days old.

PLEASE HELP!!
Thank you

Answer
hi adrian -i have never had this problem but you will find it extremely time consuming to feed them yourself -i would personnally leave them with mum as her milk should start to flow soon .feed them with a dropper full of cows milk and see how they are.
