You can use kitten replacer. Its not that much different from raising baby chins.

::silly:: Bill accidentally exposed a nest of baby bunnies with a weed eater. One was injured and died within 24 hours. One didn't even have it's eyes open yet. We waited 8 hours for momma to come back, before touching them, but she didn't. So, I've been feeding them for about a week now ... they are doing great. Here's one of them on one of our daily outtings for clover and grass. They're able to eat some solids now and I want to make sure they eat what they will have to continue to eat when we release them in a couple of weeks.
I could not leave them out to die ... :hugs: ...we have two cats and 4 dogs in the neighborhood that hunt small animals and birds ... we are constantly running them out of the yard.
