Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Bill....I've raised baby rabbits from about that size. They are actually easier to care for than you would think, and they will start eating on their own fairly young. Somewhere I have the recipe for the home-made formula I used (more specific to rabbits and such, I will try to find it), but kitten milk replacer will work in a pinch. A small nurser bottle, and a warm, dark spot is all you really need. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions.....I'm going to go try to find that recipe, lol.

Hey Bill, good luck with them and Happy Easter! One summer we raised 22 baby rabbits that ranged in size from about 30 grams and up. The bigger ones like you found aren't that difficult like Cathy said. We fed them a mix of kitten milk replacer and bird hand-feeding forumula, but I'm sure Cathy's recipe would work if she says so!  At that size, they can stay warm enough just by staying huddled together, so I wouldn't try "heating" them in any way. They can get dehydrated pretty quick it seems. If you don't want to finish raising them, you might want to call the local humane society. They may know someone in the area who has done it before. (That's how we ended up with so many.)
