In the case of domestic rabbits: Kits should start experimenting with solid foods around 3-4 weeks old. At 4 weeks, if absolutely necessary (i.e. the mother dies), they kits *should* be able to eat and survive off pellet feed. Note that few rabbits may not take to feed that early, but the vast majority will. Do not feed vegetables/fruits, or anything other than hay and pellets. The water content is too high and usually causes diarrhea, sometimes leading to death.

In the case of wild rabbits: A 4 week old kit should be eating on it's own and left in the wild.

How much 2 milk should you feed 1-week old baby rabbits?

For 1-week-old baby rabbits, it's generally recommended to feed them a specially formulated rabbit milk replacer, as cow's milk (2% milk) is not suitable for them. If you must use a substitute, goat's milk or a rabbit milk replacer is preferable. Each baby rabbit typically needs about 2-4 cc (milliliters) of milk every 4-6 hours. Always ensure the milk is warm and use a syringe for feeding, as baby rabbits are unable to nurse from a bottle effectively at this age.
