Baby rabbits wean between 4 and 6 weeks, so they should start having unlimited access to solid food (pellets and hay) at about 4 weeks old. At 12 weeks, they can start sampling fresh leafy greens (in very small amounts, one at a time, very gradually increasing the variety and portion sizes). At 6 months, they can start sampling fresh fruit and other sugary veg as a treat (treats should be very strictly limited in a rabbit's diet because too much leads to sickness). Between 7 and 13 months, the rabbit should transition to an adult diet. See the related questions below for more details.
Baby rabbits will begin to nibble on rabbit pellets at 2 weeks of age, by 4 weeks they will be eating pretty good but still depending on mom for milk, by 6 weeks they will be eating pellets and timothy hay and they should start to be weaned. Wean them gradually to avoid the doe getting mastitis. All bunnies should be weaned from the doe by 8 weeks.
Just put a bowl of food and clean it out everyday once thy start eating (they sit in it
). Once they come out of the nest box start this and evetually they will wean themselves but still sepertate the moter and kits and bucks from does at 6 to 8 weeks do this.
At 2 weeks of age baby rabbits will begin to 'nibble' on rabbit pellets. By 6 weeks of age they will be depending on pellets for the bulk of their diet. Start weaning them then and make sure all are separated from the doe by 8 weeks of age. By 3 months they should be separated into bucks and does and by 4 months each rabbit should have their own cage.
There isnt an age if u want your rabbit to start feeding on vegtables you simply just need to wait until your rabbit starts craving on vegtables only, if you give your rabbit fruits it is simply excact like if your giving it sugars ,wich can cause it to die or get into harm and get hurt ,you see a bunny cant resist sugar if u had already given it sugar and it seems nothing happened to it from the outside you need to take it to a vet because u DONT KNOW OF ITS ORGINS.And your bunny will simply start looking for your vegtables when it wants them.
Between three and six months old is a good time to start introducing vegetables into a baby rabbit's diet, but you must start with TINY portions (just a bite or two), and watch closely the next few days for diarrhoea (or any other health problems).
Baby rabbits should have unlimited access to alfalfa hay and high-quality pellets.
Between seven and 13 months, start slowly transitioning baby rabbits to an adult rabbit's diet.

You'll be suprised how young baby rabbits do start to nibble at food and I have seen 10 day old youngsters starting to nibble at hay and get the jist of things! They will start to eat out the bowl with mom basically from their eyes being fully open but be careful on letting them over gorge on dry food. Most young rabbits should be experienced with solid foods from 3 weeks onwards when they start to eat solid food and gut stasis is most commonly seen around that time. Make sure you are very careful about the amount of greens going in the cage too. Hope this helps! :) xxx
Baby rabbits start to wean at about 4 weeks; they are usually fully weaned by 6 weeks. By this time, they should have 100% 24/7 unlimited access to alfalfa hay, pellets, and water. Fresh leafy greens can be introduced at 12 weeks; other fruits and vegetables should not be offered until the rabbit is about 6 months old.

Try offering a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as high-quality pellets specifically formulated for guinea pigs. Avoid feeding them foods that are high in sugar or fats. Additionally, provide a comfortable and quiet feeding environment to reduce stress and encourage eating.
