Kits, or baby rabbits, typically stay with their mother for about 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, they nurse and gradually begin to eat solid food. By the age of 4 weeks, they start to explore their environment and can often be weaned by 6 weeks. It's important for the mother rabbit to ensure her kits are fully weaned before they are separated.
