It should still suckle from its mother for 6-8 weeks but it can start eating solid food when it is 18 days old. New borns must be fed milk.

New born rabbits nurse from their mother exclusively. By about 2 weeks they will begin eating grass and straw and trying to eat rabbit pellets. (I say trying because they will drop many more pellets thru the wire on the cage floor than they will actually eat.) They will still be nursing their mother. By 4 weeks they will be eating pellets, hay and straw in an efficient manner. You should start to wean your bunnies by 6 weeks and gradually have them off of the doe by 8 weeks. This will prevent the doe from getting mastitis.
