Help about weaning rabbits!?
We had a litter of 4 lionhead rabbits 9 weeks ago. We took away the boys a week ago but still had the doe living with the mom. She was still nursing her so we are starting to wean her. We put her in her own cage about 7 hours ago. I’m wondering if she is eating I saw her eat hay and drink a little but Im not sure. im kinda worried. Should we just wait a little to see what happens? please tell me your advice.
PLEASE NO RUDE COMMENTS
Thanks and if you need any more info just ask!
Good job on taking the boys out! Kudos! Normally you wean the mom off slowly so she doesn’t experience discomfort lactation wise. So take out one of the girls and then a few days later you should be able to take out the other one. Try not to worry too much about food. If she ate a little hay and drank some water she knows how to eat and digest the food. She just has to get used to not having mama’s milk around. 
Hope this helps!
