You will need to take the baby bunny to a vet for splinting. Since the bunny is so young, it will probably heal with a splint if the fracture is not too complicated. Best leave all those babies alone, do not let your brother or anyone touch them. Sometimes the bunny mother will eat the babies if there is too much disturbance and stress.
