Re: Tan Rabbits Weaning and Leaving Momma

Just speaking about my own personal practices, I let my does wean their babies which is usually around 10 -12 weeks.  Typically I'll keep the litter together separated by gender for a couple more weeks beyond that because it makes for better adjusted Tans - calmer, more self assured kiddos and ready for the upcoming shows.

My new litter is now 3 weeks old. I can't believe how much they have grown. I have a question.
My Dutch babies are always small till about 6 weeks and that's when I start taking them from the Doe.
My tans, even though they are still weaning, are now eating food and hay. Because they are a little bigger, I have put them all in a larger cage. Do I still use my rule that no litter leaves Momma until 6 weeks
or do Tans leave earlier? They are driving her nuts and she is already
an extreme skitzo as it is!! :)
Any suggestions or helpful tips?
Thanks!
Jennie
