Weaning Kits Onto Solids

[Andrew Beirne 78]

I was just wondering what wOuLd be the best age to wean the kits onto solids they are 4 weeks old now and I put a bit of a rabbit in and the jill ate most of it but i did see a few of em sucking on it

.Try some minced beef mate. They are natural meat eaters and in there own time will eat the same as the mother. there teeth are made for meat or you could add some water to soften the buscuit or dried foods

 

5 weeks normally or around there.

i just feed the jill as usual giving her complete biscuits, game and left overs from the butcher like liver etc. they sort them selves out just make sure you put enough for the lot of them...if there starting to eat abit of solid just keep em topped up with food it wont be long till there really getting on and turn into mini predators lol

I just put rabbit in the nest box from three weeks and let them help themselves ,by five ,six weeks there off the jill and eating for themselves . I wouldn't mince it they have teeth and i would worry that a bit of mince might get stuck on the top of there mouth
