At what age do most people get their rabbits?

Question

Hi

My new rabbits are 6 weeks old. At what age did you get your rabbits? Is six weeks too young?

Answer 1

All mine have ben eight weeks, six weeks is a little young, but its not life threatening. Basically the extra 2 weeks gives them time to get used to eating grass, greens, carrots, broccoli, etc without the added stress of going to a new home, which can make them ill.

Answer 2

I got my rabbits when I was 11.

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Anyway, six weeks is when the rabbits can be separated from their mothers because they are usually fully weaned by then, but 8 weeks is the ideal age because then most little bunnies have gained some independance and are happier leaving mum

Answer 3

i breed rabbits and as soon as they were eating on their own not drinking from their mother they are okay to be sold

Answer 4

hi,

separation from mothers happens when baby rabbit have developed fur and begin to depend on rabbit foods like pellets and hay.

and weaning time starts at about 4-5 weeks of age.usually,at this time,rabbits have fully weaned themselves.so at 6 weeks old,rabbits are ready to be given away.

but of course,it depends on the health of the rabbit.if the rabbit,by 4 weeks of age,is still weak and unable to thrive without mother milk,then they should be kept with the mother rabbit longer.

i got my first rabbit when she is about 7 weeks old.but 6 weeks old is okay.no need to worry.as long as the rabbit can now eat pellets,hay and vegetables, and drink water,then your rabbit should be fine.

good luck!  ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚˜Â¼
