The lettuce I put in the cage was intended for the Mom, but the babies rushed up and began nibbling immediately. I almost took it away and then realized that they may actually need this. Since then I have been noticing them eating hay and pellets. The bunnies are between 16-18 days old now. They should begin weening @ 4 weeks and pretty much be weened by 8 weeks. At least, that is what the literature suggests! They are growing quite fast and all look healthy to me. The baby bunny in the right picture (with Mom) is probably one of the smallest of the bunch, but he/she is a good size anyway. Mom is a very affectionate bunny.
