What foods do wild rabbits eat? Wild bunnies prefer tender young green plants and high-protein vegetation over fibrous dry growth. They usually eat twice a day: morning and night. Wild rabbits in captivity need grass hay, pellets and leafy greens such as collard greens, watercress, Swiss chard, broccoli and kale. Wild bunnies, particularly very young ones, should never be removed from their nests, as this drastically shortens their chance of survival.
(Domestics are weaned about 6 weeks; wild bunnies are weaned about 3-4 weeks for cottontails, and 7-9 weeks for jack rabbits). Bloat is commonly associated with too frequent feedings. Wild bunnies should be fed kitten KMR or KMR and regular Goats Milk.lder baby bunnies who are found outside of the nest may not be orphaned or in need of assistance. Baby cottontails are born without fur but develop a full coat in a week. Their eyes open in 6-10 days, and in three weeks they are weaned.
