Hello again,

Today, I adopted a 4 week and 3 days old, baby dwarf rabbit from my
local Nursery. He is a cute little black rabbit with a white patch on
his chest, and he is adapting to solid foods quite nicely, and drinks
water. But he is very small and young, but the owner of mum rabbit
took 3 babies to the nursery on Saturday and the babies were only 4
weeks old. But I figured, that if they were going to be sold so
young, who better to adopt one than someone with time, love and
patience for baby animals and adults.

However, my concern is that being only 4 weeks, was he taken away
from mum too soon?
He seems happy, and healthy, and has been in the Nursery since
Saturday, August 30, 2003 but tonight is his first night by himself.
I do plan to put him in with my guinea pig, when he grows big enough
to look after himself if my big male GP decides to be a bully,
probably wont be for a month or two... (due to settling in, growing
up a bit more, and a safe quarintine period before I introduce him
to my current pets.)

But in the meantime, should I do anything special, diet or care wise
to ensure this little baby is raised a happy, healthy little rabbit?

Any care tips for young rabbits is much appreciated. Please help!
I have owned rabbits before, but never a baby bunny of this age.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!
