I had 6 newborn rabbits but 4 of them died due to being chilled and never recovered after warming them up. 2 of them however have been revived and are alive and kicking again. The problem now is the mother rabbit/doe will most likely not feed her babies as she had already ignored them and even stepped on them brusing a couple of them.

I'm getting ready to have to handfeed the 2 survivors but I don't know where I can get the proper milk formula i need for these guys. I heard that kitten's milk or something like that is good or even goat's milk? Does anyone know where I can get milk formula (usually powdered form and i mix it with warm water)? What is it called in Korean?

Thanks for any tips.

Formula is 분유 in Korean. You can find it at every big supermarket, even at Lotte Super and such places and large neighborhood marts. Your typical mom and pop store won’t be selling it.

Just to make sure, is this formula you mentioned milk formula for human babies or for animals like rabbits? Or does it not matter (it's the same thing?).

Go to a vet and they'll be able to give you the proper formula. Better safe than sorry.
