If you do have to hand-raise the bunnies, you'll have to get some rabbit poop when it comes time to put them on solid food.  Rabbits (like termites!) have a colony of symbiotic bacteria in their guts that lets them digest their food.  They pick it up from eating momma's pellets.  (Rabbits often eat their own pellets -- still lots of digestible material in there for a second pass.)

If the bunnies don't get the bacteria, they get diarrhea and die.

That's why a lot of websites and other sources say you can't raise orphan rabbits.  You can, but you need poop!

Squirrels, however, are easy!

BBH, after Mr snake got in the nest momma will move em if she's still around. If he did hurt her and she's not well Mr snake may well come back. They got their chance now its up to nature to take its course.

Yeah Doc, baby rabbits aint no fun to raise. We used to raise gobs of the white rabbits when i was a kid. Got to hate the d@mned things. Biteing kicking screaming poop machines. Get to hot or to cold and they just croak left n right. I got the pleasure of haveing to scoop shovel up their leaveings as well as feed and water em and clean out their cages.

High point was playing with the babies. Low point was butchering them.
Rather raise hogs as rabbits and you can have them baby squirrels too! Nothing but teeth n fur. Course them two baby coons last year were nothing but empty stomachs, claws n teeth. But they were so cute n cuddely...untill they hit about 5lbs each and developed their personalities. One was sweet as sugar and the other was just pi$$y. Got the scars to prove it...lol
