Hi guys, someone dropped off a bun to the vet's office where my son works and I presume it's another bunnapping but it doesn't matter.

It is 74 g and here's a photo. I put alfalfa and pellets and water in the bin with baby, but I feel like I was still feeding formula to my other buns at this age but that they were transitioning off. I almost feel like I should hang on to it for a few days and put it back outside. I feel like the buns I released weren't much bigger than this little one, who was probably just making it's way out into the world when some do-gooder scooped it up and drove it to a vet's office.

Sorry for the dumb photo, it's so freaked out I didn't want to stress so I took it from inside of the cube.

My is 77g, but it's just so tinnny. I did what you did based on the replies but he just wants to hide. I did find some poop in the bin.

I talked to another rehabber who said that some rehabbers would allow them to eat timothy hay, timothy based pellets and wild greens and monitor weight and output while others would feed them formula no matter what until they are 100 g.

I mixed bunny formula (all 100 ingredients-JK) and am letting it rest. I will try to handle him for some formula feeding, hopefully he will have calmed a bit in his bin, in the spare bedroom that I dimmed.

He has timothy hay and pellets and wild greens and water in with him now and he had peed some super stinky pee in the shoe box I got him in. He does feel dehydrated to me, though, so I'm gonna try to formula feed him.
