When can I introduce my baby bunnies to outside? And other questions...?

[iloveanimals]

I have five 3 Weeks old baby bunnies and was wondering what age i can take them outside to run around. They have been raised indoors and are healthy and active. Also before the mom had babies she was housed with her younger sister who is about 6-7 months old. Can I house them together immediately after the babies are weened or will they fight? When can the babies be weened and separated from mom? They are already eating and drinking on their own. When can I find them homes? I got the mom when she was 6 weeks old and the dad on the day he turned 4 weeks old. Please give answers...Thanks

Heyy,

You can take them outside at the age of 9 - 10 weeks old. If u do take them out make sure they cant escape the garden as if they do they will get lost or worse something bad may happen as they will be to young to defend for themselves.

Before you house them all together, place them in a room or area they have never been so that they cant fight about territory and that they can smell each other and get to know each other and when u do put them in the same housing I suggest u clean it out top to bottom so there's no smell of a rabbit so it becomes neutral for all of them. They may fight in the cage at 1st but will learn to get along soon, the more they see each other the more they will get to know each other.

You can find them homes and give them away at the age of 8 weeks. This is the age that the babies can leave their mother. As they can eat and drink on their own now it shows they can look after themselves a little now and don't need mum.

Hope I helped. Gud luck with ur babies.
