This diet is not good for your baby rabbit, she might not survive because her gut flora might change for the worse. i would recommend feeding her kitten milk replacer only, you can find it in any pet store.

No, do not give him butter, he cannot digest that, only give him milk replacer if she isn't with her mother anymore, i doubt you will find rabbit milk replacer so you can use kitten milk replacer, and in a few days you can start feeding some pellets and hay as well.
