depends on the animal, like guinea pigs wean at about 2 weeks and dogs should wean about 6-8 weeks whereas African elephants don't wean for about 2 years.

Why do people wean foals?

Typically, you would wean your foal at approximately 6 months of age. Foals do not need to be suckling on the dam too far beyond that age. Most of the time foals are weaned so the mare can return to a more relaxed life. Nursing a foal is a drain on the mare, lactating mares require more nutrition. People often wean foals so the dam can return to her normal job (showing, racing, trail riding)
