Do mom rabbits give milk to 3 week old baby bunnies?

Yes, mom rabbits typically continue to nurse their kits for around 3-4 weeks. While the kits will start to eat solid food around 2 weeks old, they still rely heavily on their mother's milk for nourishment during this period.

Here's why:

* Milk provides essential nutrients: Rabbit milk is rich in antibodies and other nutrients that baby bunnies need to grow and develop properly.

* Weaning process: The transition from milk to solid food is gradual. Kits will gradually start eating more solid food and less milk as they get older.

* Individual variation: The exact weaning age can vary depending on the breed of rabbit and individual kit development.

It's important to note that a mother rabbit will often wean her kits earlier if she is stressed or if she senses a threat to her young.
