Hi, thanks for using PetCoach. He is pretty small but definitely not a newborn. He looks like a Dutch. They are usually weaned from the mother at 4 weeks of age and I think he looks close to that but honestly, it is hard for me to say for sure. That being said, at weaning, it is best to keep all the kits together for a few weeks to minimize stress. I don't think that happened here. I suggest you try bottle feeding some KMR kitten milk replacer and offer some alfalfa hay and some pellets. Once he is an adult you need to stop the alfalfa and use timothy hay or orchard grass hay. Offer all of this and let him choose and see what he eats. Hopefully he will eat something. If he is not interested in eating anything you will need to find a way to get him to the vet sooner. You can get the KMR and bottles at any large pet store (like Petco). Walmart may even have it. I suggest Oxbow hay and pellets. You can usually find them at Petco but you may have to order online. ( https://www.amazon.com/Oxbow-Alfalfa-Hay-15oz/dp/B007SYTRPA/ref=sr_1_2?crid=2I61EPMWJF68F&keywords=oxbow+alfalfa+hay+for+rabbits&qid=1571081976&s=pet-supplies&sprefix=oxbow+alfalfa%2Cpets%2C540&sr=1-2 ) ( https://www.amazon.com/Oxbow-Bunny-Basics-Rabbit-Alfalfa/dp/B001CQGMNA/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2FWQ4D9EUDP69&keywords=oxbow+rabbit+food&qid=1571081639&s=pet-supplies&sprefix=oxbow+rabbit%2Cpets%2C156&sr=1-3 ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Congrats on your new addition! It looks like you have everything you need. A water bottle wasn't listed, so if you don't have one be sure to pick one up at the local Petco. Rabbit safe chew toys can also be found at the store. Melo can eat as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as he wants. Do not feed him any alfalfa and limit pellets to about 1/8 cup daily. he can get a cup or two of fresh greens daily as well. If you have any additional questions, you can post them here.

Rabbit based foods are a little more difficult to come across. The only rabbit based diets I have ever found have been novel protein diets formulated for adult cats, comparable to the Royal Canin variety he has been eating. It may be worth trying a few different flavors of canned senior foods to see if he finds any of them palatable. Worst case scenario, you can also find a dry senior diet (again, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, Royal Canin, or Purina One) that he will tolerate and mix it with the rabbit and pea food regularly. Here are a few links to different canned senior cat diets available: http://www.hillspet.com/en/us/products/sd-feline-senior-11-plus-healthy-cuisine-tuna-and-carrot-med-stew-canned https://www.proplan.com/cats/products/focus-adult-11plus-chicken-beef-entree-classic https://www.proplan.com/cats/products/focus-adult-11plus-salmon-tuna-entree-classic https://www.royalcanin.com/products/royal-canin-feline-health-nutrition-aging-12-canned-cat-food/4082 I hope this helps and that all goes well for Tony!

It looks like it is still available through Petsmart and Petco website for an online order, or you can wait until your vet opens on tomorrow to get it there if they keep it in stock. Typically your vet can get it ordered pretty quickly for their patients. Jaydee should be fine if it takes a week or two to get his Rx food. Visit your local pet store and get Hill's Science diet senior food (small bag) for now to hold him over.

Thanks for reaching out about Peppermint and including photos. Continue to monitor for appetite and water consumption. Continue to talk in a soft voice and allow her to get comfortable with her new surroundings. If decreased appetite of soft stool, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.
