My little babys are 4 days old but still really small and very little hair, After researching how they should look at this age im starting to worry they are not growing or getting enough milk. They do have pot bellys but nothing like the researched pictures ive seen.Should i be worried or am i panicing over nothing? However i believe feeding hay starts at around 9 days old, is this correct? In need of help here
love Amanda

∙ 12y agoBaby rabbits start to wean at about 4 weeks of age, and at this point they will start nibbling on their mother's food (pellets and hay). At 6 weeks of age, baby rabbits are fully weaned and they should have 100% 24/7 access to three things: water, alfalfa hay, and high-quality pellets. No plants (fruit, vegetables) should be given to baby rabbits before the age of 12 weeks, and even then plants should be strictly limited. See the related questions below for more details about the rabbit diet.

∙ 11y agoAt about 4 weeks, bunnies will start weaning and taking nibbles of their mother's hay and pellets. By 6 weeks the rabbits are usually fully-weaned. You don't have to feed them at any particular time: they should have unlimited access to hay and pellets so they can nibble on them whenever they want, any time of day or night.
At 12 weeks, you can introduce dark leafy greens into the bunny's diet. You can do this once a day, in the morning or the evening (mid-day is not good because that's when the rabbits sleep). Introduce new foods carefully because changes in the diet can make a rabbit sick. (Stick to one new food per week or two, start with a bite or two only and gradually increase the portion, and watch for signs of gas or diarrhoea.) Too many greens will make your bunny sick: daily portion for a 3-7 months old rabbit is about 1/2 Tbsp only.
Between 7 and 12 months the rabbit should transition to an adult's diet. At this point you can also introduce treats (like fresh fruit), but only in tiny portions.
