How we rescued the Easter rabbit

This rabbit was picked up in the deep snow by our dog. It was terrible exhausted with 160 gram new born. After being touched by our dog and removed from its mouth we had the decision to let it die (as the mother will not feed it again) or to hand-feed and milk it. It is a wild rabbit and you should not try to do it if you don't know about the time and medications. We also informed the local hunters and they gave their blessings. At the time of the picture the rabbit has grown to 550 grams and still need milk 4 times a day. It has been treated with Cotrim K and lactobacillus to prevent coccidosis. But it is also a great experience. We will let him free in the wild when the rabbit is about 1 kilo and can take care of him/herself.

Happy Easter!
