Are you sure that she doesn't have enoug milk? Some animals' breast may not be very big when they just deliver, as it will get bigger later on. But, anyway, its good that you've taken notice, and its good to have a replacer in hand too.
Usually most vet clinics would sell milk replacers. Mostly they would have the milk for kittens, but you can also give them to your baby bunnies. Just don't buy the supermarket brand, as they do not have enough nutritional value for new borns. The real milk replacers are much more expensive than the supermarket brands. You have to ask your vet for the price. |

| Usually by pressing the teat is not enough to determine whether the mother has got enough milk for the babies or not. And most importantly, this may severely stress the mother. If seriously stressed out, the mother may not feed the babies. I will advise to leave it (nursing) to the mother. If you observe that the babies are not growing (usually they grow fast), then only consider hand-feeding. Can either choose one, either leave the mother nurse the babies, or hand-feed. When babies are touched by the human hands, the mother may be confused by our smell and as a result cannibalise the babies. |

| Another thing you must also realise, is that with rabbits, you may seldom see her suckle her ktis. They dont do it as often as dogs or cats do. |
