You can safely wean kits at 5 weeks, but if it suits you, you can wait longer. For the first week after weaning, I like to mix old fashioned oatmeal to the pellets at the rate of 20%. I also offer grass hay at least 3 times/week. Refrain from giving any fresh fruits or vegetables til the bunnies are 10-12 weeks old, and then only what they can clean up within 10 minutes.

well they do refuse to eat t he oatmeal
If they don\'t eat it, don\'t worry. It\'s not critical...just helpful in toning the digestive system.
