How can you tell if a baby rabbit is still a baby?
Figure out if the rabbit is still a baby. Is the rabbit still growing and still spending a lot of time with its mother? Baby rabbits are born blind, and deaf. They are very small and nursed by their mother once or twice every 24 hours, usually at night. By 6 – 8 days the eyes and ears open and they have thin fluff.
