A zebra foal will start eating grass, or at least mimic what its mother eats as young as a few days to a week old. Most of the time, though, the foal depends on its mother's milk for nutrition over the more coarser and harder-to-digest grasses of the African savannah.

No. Their stomachs aren't well developed to consume grass when they are so young. They begin to sample grasses and other stuff Mom eats when they get around a week old. They are fully on grass and other feedstuffs offered to them by the producer by the time they reach between 6 and 8 months of age.
