when to take out baby rabbits

Question
How long to do let the bunnys stay with there mother before seperating them

Answer
Dear Jose,

Baby rabbits should not be taken away from their mother before the age of eight weeks, and in many states it is even *illegal* to wean mammals younger than that because of the very high risk of illness.  In rabbits, it's especially risky to wean them too young. Please read:

I hope this helps.
