ryangolding 4 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 i usally put kitten meat and goats milk in for the mother, the kits will wean them selves at around 3-4 weeks when they start to leave the nest and explore mate Quote Link to post
Kay 3,709 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 The jill will very probably carry any meat into the nest box for them, they will usually start to attempt to eat it from 3 weeks old , once there mobile they will help themeslves Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Wait till there about three weeks and put a rabbit back leg in there nest box see how they go with that and then you will know to put more or less in . other than that just plenty fresh water Quote Link to post
