Baby rabbits should be fed every 3 to 4 hours during the day.

• A. Only morning
• B. True
• C. False
• D. Only at night

Answer: (C)

Neonatal rabbit kits have tiny stomachs and very high energy needs, so they require frequent feedings around the clock to stay hydrated and gain weight. In the first week or two, you typically feed every 2–3 hours, day and night. Feeding only during the day leaves them without nourishment during the night, increasing risks of hypoglycemia and dehydration. So the statement is not correct because nighttime feeds are essential, not just daytime feeds. As the kit grows and begins nibbling on solid foods, you can gradually extend the intervals, but early on around-the-clock care is the standard.
