will.f11 24 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 My jill has moved all of the kits into the second nest box. She left 1 jill behind and when it finally managed t find its way back she dragged it back again! If I need to bottle feed it, I have a bottle but no milk! Would warmed cows milk every 3-4 hours be ok? They are 3 weeks 1 day old Quote Link to post

Would warmed cows milk every 3-4 hours be ok? They are 3 weeks 1 day old by this age it should be chomping on fresh rabbit, when you put the evening food in (after the flies are asleep,lol) let mum start feeding, give that jill a chunk of rabbit, in the middle of the others, see if the jill keeps removing it from the litter, dont rush to become a surrogate mum, Quote Link to post
will.f11 24 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 cheers. I have found some powdered kitten milk would this do f it has to? I dont want o knock it on the head because its a jill lol. I am in short supply of jills. I put it back when she was eating so will check if she has moved it again! Quote Link to post
socks 32,253 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 kitten milk will be fine mate but as has been said if the jill is moving it all the time there may well be something wrong with it .......... Quote Link to post

Guest jojoamojo Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 as stubby says 3 weeks old it should be eating a bit of meat anyway if not you need to get lactol from the vets for it, to feed it on, 3 weeks is an easy age to hand rear from Quote Link to post
