Wean at 5-8 Weeks of Age

5
  1. Solution: Plan to wean kits when they are between 5 and 8 weeks old.
  2. Explanation: By 5 weeks, kits are typically eating solid food well (pellets and hay) alongside nursing. Leaving them until 6-8 weeks allows their digestive systems to mature further, often resulting in hardier weanlings. Earlier weaning (e.g., 4 weeks) is possible in intensive systems but carries higher risk.
  3. Notes: The exact timing can depend on your breeding schedule, doe's condition, and litter size.
