About Rabbit Milk
Different species of mammals produce milk of different composition to nourish their young. The table below outlines the differences between normal cow’s milk and rabbit milk.
Rabbit milk is very high in solids with elevated
levels of protein and fat. The energy content is more than three times that of cow’s milk. However rabbit milk is low in lactose, with kits being intolerant to cow’s milk formulas. The high energy content of rabbit milk means that young are fed infrequently, usually only once or twice a day. Rabbit milk is unique that it contains ‘milk oil’ which are medium-chain fatty acids that have antibacterial activity in the stomach. This helps sterilise the gut from pathogens and prevents digestive upset.
Benefits of Wombaroo Rabbit Milk Replacer
• Closely resembles Rabbit Milk - formulated to
match the composition of mother’s milk, with added vitamins, minerals and essential fattyacids (omega 3 & 6).
• Elevated Protein & Fat Content - to cater for
the rapid growth rate and high energy intake of kits.
• Contains ‘Milk Oil’ - antimicrobial fatty acids
that are essential for good gut health.
Using Rabbit Milk Replacer
• Success in rearing young rabbits greatly
improves if they receive colostrum at birth. Kits that don’t get colostrum from the mother can be fed Impact Colostrum Supplement.
• Commence feeding Wombaroo after the
initial feeds of colostrum. Make up milk at a concentration of 360g per litre, in accordance with the directions on the pack.
• Milk can be stored in the fridge for a day or
frozen for up to 2 weeks. Small quantities can be frozen in ice-cube trays, so that the required daily feed volumes can be easily thawed out.
• When feeding, warm milk to about 35°C
and feed from a syringe or bottle and teat.
• Refer to the guidelines on the pack for
feed rates. Do not overfeed as this can leadto diarrhea.• Weigh kits regularly to verify consistent
weight gains.
