Question
My doe just breeded 5 days ago and I'm not sure when I can give the litter real food I'm afide that when they're ready the doe milk won't be enogh for them. I'm planing on selling them but I'm not sure when is the best time for them to leave.I'm ten and this is the third time my doe has breeded can she have more this year?

Answer
If you read our description, we don't breed, so we can't answer many of your questions.

However, I can help you with their care, there is information at http://www.rabbit.org/care/babies.html

At about 3-4 weeks they will start eating pellets and hay, and I would hold off on greens until they are at least 3 months old.  The youngest they should leave their mother is 8 weeks of age.
