  1. They can be weaned when they are eating pellets and hay and drinking water on their own and getting more nutrition from solid food than from the mother. This can be anywhere from 4 weeks to 8 weeks. Most mothers stop nursing the kits when they are 5-6 weeks old. They just get tired of caring for the kits, especially if the litter was large.
    I do not sell or send kits(young rabbits) to new homes until they are 8 weeks old. Even if they are weaned it is better to give them a little time to adjust to being on their own before they go to a new place. Sometimes young rabbits can become stressed by new things. If they have to handle a number of changes at once it can end tragically.
    Make sure the young rabbits do not get any fresh foods(veggies & fruit) until they are 5 months old. Their digestive tract cannot handle these things and they can develop diarrhea and die from it.

  2. About 24 days max.They need to be at least 6 weeks old to be weened.
    But if you want you can put them in different cages to seperate them.

  3. 6 weeks from now, they are ready to leave there mom when they are seven weeks old, when they are drinking by themself and when they are eating normal rabbit food!!!

  4. One of my rabbits was taken away from her mom after a month. To be on the safe side, you should wait 6 weeks though. Good luck!

  5. i seperate my kits at 6 weeks then if they are ok and strong i sell em at 6 an half
