Expert Answer

Generally, baby rabbits can be weaned 25 days after birth. However, if a kit is still weak or weighs less than 500 grams at that point, weaning should be delayed so it can nurse a bit longer until its resistance improves and it reaches 500 grams. A newly weaned rabbit has a delicate digestive system, so the owner should feed it rabbit pellets and alfalfa hay, and avoid fruits and vegetables, which can easily cause diarrhea and other digestive problems.
