Rabbits are precocial, meaning they are born with their eyes open and fur, and are able to move around shortly after birth. They nurse frequently during the first few weeks of life, but the mother will only stay with them for a short time each day, typically early in the morning and evening. This helps to keep the babies safe from predators, as they are very vulnerable during this time. The mother will also lick the babies to keep them clean and stimulate their digestion.
By the time they are about 3 weeks old, the babies will start to eat solid food and nurse less frequently. They will also start to explore their surroundings more and become more independent. By 6 weeks old, they will be fully weaned and will no longer need their mother's milk.
