Can a 1 month rabbit survive by its own?

I have a bunny rabbit that is being abandon by its mother. Its a 1 month old male. It cant drink by its own and needs assistance.Can a 1 month rabbit survive by its own?
it isnt the best situation but with a little help it should survive.





i adopted a less than 1 week old baby rabbit about a year ago!! everyone thought she would never survive but she did!!





my secret was brown bread (no crusts) soaked in milk in a saucer. they will drink the milk and suck on the bread also give it some baby rabbit mix if it feels like it.





if its not drinking much put some apple juice in its water bottle at about 1/3 topped up with water, this will make it more palatable for him.





warm up a hot water bottle so its warm but not hot to touch (if its too hot to hold on your face its too hot!) then wrap it in a old towel and put it in with the baby this will mimic its mothers body temp.





hope this helps xxCan a 1 month rabbit survive by its own?
Yes they are very independant.
no u should bring it to a vet
It can but watch it closley to make sure it doesn't seem to be getting sick.
no
I breed rabbits and we always wean our rabbits at 4 weeks old, so your probally gonna have to keep and eye on it and show it the food and water often, but it should be fine.
