What is the weaning age of rabbit kits? By 5 weeks, the babies are usually weaned off the mother, and should be eating and drinking on their own. If there is a rabbit that doesn't seem to be thriving the way the rest are, leave it with the mom longer than the others. Good luck with your babies, and congratulations!

- Older baby bunnies who are found outside of the nest may not be orphaned or in need of assistance. Baby cottontails are born without fur but develop a full coat in a week. Their eyes open in 6-10 days, and in three weeks they are weaned. At this age, they are about as round as a banana, and they may explore the world outside of the nest but return there to sleep. They are not ignored by the mother but stay with the family group until four or five weeks of age.

Domestic Baby Bunnies and Their Mom If the mother rabbit has died, call rabbit rescuers to find a foster mother. Rabbits will foster another’s baby if they are the same of the same size and age. As soon as the babies are weaned, at eight weeks, the mother rabbit should be spayed. She can then be placed back into the companionship of the now (hopefully) neutered male. In any case of domestic rabbit babies, do not remove the babies until they are a full eight weeks of age.

When to Wean The puppy's mother usually starts the weaning process usually when the puppy is around 3 to 4 weeks old. By the time a pup is 7 or 8 weeks old, she should be completely weaned from her mother and no longer nursing. Orphaned puppies may be weaned around the same age.

- If a newborn calf is unable to nurse its dam, use of a surrogate cow may be the best way to raise the calf until weaning. Bottle-fed calves can be weaned after one month of age, while calves nursing cows are weaned between 3 and 8 months of age. It is usually best to wean at the older age.For comparing weight of calves weaned at different ages, a 205-day weaning weight is sometimes calculated.This “205-day WW” is the calf weight adjusted for birth date and weaning date, and does not infer that calves should necessarily be weaned at that age.f a newborn calf is unable to nurse its dam, use of a surrogate cow may be the best way to raise the calf until weaning.

Rabbit Information What Age to Buy. The age of the rabbit is very important when deciding whether or not to buy it. You should NOT buy a rabbit under 6 weeks old (8 weeks if it is a larger breed). Although some irresponsible people will try to sell bunnies as young as 4 weeks old, they are not yet fully weaned at this age.When a bunny is 4 weeks old, they are typically just starting to eat solid food, but still nursing.ome states have regulations that a rabbit cannot be sold unless it has reached a minimum age. In states without such laws, most pet stores will want to offer rabbits for sale that are still at the little, cute age. This tends to be about 4-6 weeks old, which is before the bunnies are fully weaned.

Early Weaning Beef Calves Traditionally, calves are weaned at six to seven months of age. In typical spring calving herds in the northern Great Plains, this is usually October or November. However, during drought, forage is generally limiting and early weaning should be considered as a management tool.arly weaned calves can achieve adequate rates of growth if given access to a high quality ration. By the time calves are 3 to 4 months of age, they are consuming significant amounts of forage. At 6 to 7 months of age, calves will consume approximately half the amount of forage as a mature cow.

- Kids can be weaned about 8 weeks old, making the milk available to feed your family for many months. While nannies also grow horns, they tend to be shorter and are only used to establish a pecking order at the feed trough or to protect their young. Young goats, or kids, are born about 151 days after conception. Usually a single kid or twins are born, but triplets are not unheard of. The kids are born fully covered with hair and are able to walk after a few shaky minutes. Female goats, called nannies or does, are more docile, friendly and love their group mates.
