How often should an orphaned rabbit be fed?

A healthy orphaned rabbit requires frequent feeding, particularly in its early stages of life. These animals have specific nutritional needs that must be met to ensure proper growth and development. In the case of young rabbits, they typically need to be fed every 2 to 3 hours during the day. This frequent feeding schedule mimics the natural nursing pattern they would experience with their mother, providing the vital nutrients they need.

The option indicating once a day does not meet the necessary frequency for an orphaned rabbit, as it does not align with their physiological needs for energy and growth at such a vulnerable stage. Proper care includes understanding these requirements to promote the health and well-being of the orphaned rabbit effectively.
