young bunny

Question
My neighbors bunny had kits under our house, We managed to live trap 2 of them and are keeping them. they are roughly 4-5 wks old and eating hay, pellets and veggies. they are very scared and im not sure how to get them to trust me. they have a small room to themselves and it is dim and quiet. will it just take time? i wonder how long?

Answer
I would give them some time, and check out http://www.rabbit.org/care/new-bunny-index.html  At that age, they are going to be very curious, so if you can keep them maybe in a pen in the kitchen they can get used to your routine, and then come up and explore and see what you are up to.

If they are by themselves all the time they are going to only learn to trust each other, they need to interact with you to learn to trust you (especially as the source of all things yummy).
