Ensuring that your baby rabbit is sufficiently nourished will mean healthy bones and muscle mass into adulthood. Hay and water are essential foods. Baby rabbits need more protein, so give them pellets and alfalfa hay. Your rabbit should be weaned.

To grow healthily, baby rabbits drink their mother’s milk and eventually eat meadow, timothy, and alfalfa hay, grass, bulbs, and crops. If they’re in captivity, they may munch on commercial pellets and certain vegetables as well.

Like all mammals rabbit's initial diet is their mother's milk, which they'll continue to drink until 6-8 weeks old. They first start nibbling on solids (usually hay from around the nest) between 2-3 weeks and by 3-4 they'll be eating the same foods as their mum (plus milk).
