You should begin the process at about 6 weeks, removing the strongest, healthiest kits first. Then remove one or two every other day until they are all weaned from their mother. They should all be weaned by 8 weeks of age. You do it gradually like this so your doe does not get mastitis.

Not more than a day or two as the rabbit does need to eat. Like a dog you can't give a rabbit a giant bowl of pellets and expect him/her to ration them out for a week. The rabbit will likely eat them all in a day or two and then starve. Rabbits have a very fragile digestive system and can die from starvation in just a few days. Personally my rabbit has only gone for one day without pellets but she had plenty of timothy hay to keep her full.

Usually for a pet rabbit, leaving it to settle in for 3 or 4 days is a good idea before you start handling and playing with them, but usually within the first week they will become accustomed to their new home.

Two weeks is the norm for them to start getting nosy and looking out of their nest boxes. By three weeks they are out and running around.
