Once checked, they are weighed and placed in a twenty-gallon fish tank. If very young, they are placed on a heating pad with material scraps to tunnel in. The older rabbits have lots of material scraps to tunnel in and they are fun to watch. I provide a quiet environment. I keep my cats away and my children away from the rabbits so they don't get used to them.
Dietary requirements are very important.
Rabbits need a high protein diet due to having such a rapid metabolism. Protein is a longer lasting energy source. In an emergency I will use goat's milk. The vitamin substitute I use is Diamino 4X, which can easily be obtained from a vet. I feed them with a dropper.
