          Bunnies should not leave their mother until 8 weeks old.

              The law in most countries and states is no sooner than 8 weeks to wean any mammal. Some say 7. Many breeders separate earlier to make more money or for whatever their reasons are. letting them stay with siblings and mom longer helps them learn appropriate social behaviour and gives them a good immune system. So ideally 9-10 weeks is even better. Then they should be separated by sex so that they don’t mate with each other

                I just wanted to add to the others that baby bunnies need access to adult food from about 4-5 weeks on. They aren’t weaned all at once, they gradually start eating more solid food and drinking less milk so by the time they are 8 weeks they have been fully weaned.
