Answers:
a small babys bottle with a newborn teat
this happened to me. I called a vet's office and they said to feed them kitten milk in a dropper. So I did. one died but other lived and got set free when it was big enough.
CALL YOUR LOCAL WILDLIFE OFFICER THEY CAN REFER YOU TO A PERSON IN YOUR AREA THAT CAN MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ALL THEY NEED, they require feedings every two hours and a most people cant handle that, but if you have the fortitude to try it call pet co or your local reputable pet store and see what they suggest the little guys need to survive, it will be costly,, good luck and thank you for caring to try to care for them, best of luck
My family found baby bunnys 2. Get an eye dropper and feed them canned baby formula from it. They will probably not want to eat so you kind of have to force it the first couple times. Only a couple drops each. After a couple of week or so they will be able to eat actual food like lettuce and other vegtables. Hope this helps.
You could try the RSPCA, I had an injured pigeon in my back garden and they came to collect it, their number can be found in the yellow pages.
www.wildliferehabber.com. Baby bunnies are EXTREMELY difficult to handraise. I don't know of too many professional rehabbers that are even very successful at it. Can you put them back where you found them? The mother will still take care of them even if you touched them.
your best bet would have been to leave them be the mom would have most likely come back just keep a good eye on them to see if she did come back or not but seeing on how you already touch them the mom bunnie wont care for them and yes wild animal normaly wont care for a young after a human has been touching them (found abunnie to and took it in) to let you know depending on the size it is likely the roof of there mouth isnt fully developed and it will lead to death if the milk start comeing up to the nose cause they will drown in it but use a eye droper or go to the pet shop they have bottles with tiny nipples made for small animals like newborn bunnies and stuff and it runs from 60 cents to a couple of dollars kitten formula or baby formula will work on feedig them somepet shops carry bunnie formula and also will tell you what and how and how much to feed them
good luck and hope they make it

Probably have to bottle feed them with milk
If i was you i woul get them to an animal shelter (rspca) as soon as possible, they are gonna need syringe feeding about every few hours and won't survive very long without this, they need to be kept warm
You need a pet milk formula, it is very difficult to raise baby rabbits, they tend to inhale the milk and suffer pneumonia. Call a vet and ask their advice. You need to feed them every two hours, day and night and keep them warm. I did it years ago and managed to keep one alive for 5 days before it passed on one night.
Try feeding it to a greyhound head first. The animal are prolifant breeders, so I wouldn't be get too excited about their demise.
You should've asked animal control who they use for wildlife rehab. Actually, you should've left them alone. The mother will eave babies alone for hours.
Put them back where you found them!
Are you sure they're 2 days old, they're tiny at that age, as big as your finger. If they have fur and are running around they're a lot older than 2 days.
If you hand rear them you can't just dump them in a field and call that 'returning them to the wild', they don't have a clue how to survive.
They may be hares, in which case the mother will be frantic. Hares leave their young this way, they don't abandon them.
People are far too wuick to pick up chicks and other babies, please take them straight back.
Don't worry about your scent on them, no mother abandons her offspring because of strange scent, its a myth.
If you haven't picked them up already then don't.
Rabbits spend very little time with their young, feeding them only once every 24 hours or so. The kits are probably not abandoned at all.
If you have handled them the mother will no longer accept them, so you will have to hand rear them. Be warned though, most kits die when hand-reared, it is very difficult to do right.
Arhhh, I'll have one if you like!! I love bunnies,
