Two of my rabbits have already died. I'm now afraid of losing my two one-month old rabbits. They're so small and cute. But what do I feed them?

i only feed them vegetables.. you can give him peeled skin of your fruits and vegetables, you can also give him grasses that often found on your backyard. when i think i have more food enough for a day, i put it on refrigerator so i dont need to buy new set of vegetables/fruits for tomorrow.

dont forget to give him plenty of water and avoid spraying chemicals/pesticides near the cage.

ordinary grasses are safe as long as it grows inside your garden and if free from any chemicals.. you can check the grasses that other animals eats (goat, horse, cow, etc). to make sure, research on internet the kinds of grasses. what are dangerous and what are not..

Well, part of your problem is that you are probably buying sick rabbits if you're buying one month old rabbits from someone. Rabbits are generally not sold as that young of an age.
At the age of one month old, I'd recommend substituting their regular diet with Critical Care, which you can find through Oxbow or at your rabbit veterinarian.
In addition to the Critical Care, feed alfalfa pellets, alfalfa hay, timothy (or other grass) hay, and only a few fresh veggies. Do not feed too many veggies to rabbits this young.
Hope that helps!

i got my rabbits at 8 weeks (1 and 1/2 months) and they were still babies, with baby bunny needs. i can't imagine taking them from mama at a month.
