Weaning time for rabbit kits bred in winter
For rabbit kits bred in winter, green feed is already very scarce at weaning time, so the nursing period should also be appropriately extended. Weaning methods: if the kits are evenly developed, they can be weaned all at once, that is, the whole litter of kits is separated from the doe in one go. If the kits vary in size, they should be weaned in batches, with the larger ones weaned first and the smaller ones later. Whichever weaning method is used, the doe must be taken out of the original hutch and the kits left in the original hutch for a period, so as to avoid a sudden change in environment that would have an adverse effect on the kits.
