[net.pets] Weaning Baby Bunnies

marks@yogi.DEC (09/16/85)

We have two Netherlands Dwarf Rabbits who did what came naturally and
produced a litter of four adorable bunnies.  These bunnies will have a
home in the local pet store when they are ready, but does anyone know
when they should be weaned?  Is that the point to send them out into the
world?  We have a couple of rabbit books, but each one gives different
information.  Has anyone in netland had personal experience
raising rabbits?

When I was a lad and we were raising cute little white bunny-rabbits to
be sold to laboratories so they could give their lives for better
Science, we left them with their doe until two months and then they
were sold.

Guinea pigs, on the other hand, can leave mommy when they're a month
old.
