baby rabbits can eat alfalfa around 5-6 weeks old. If the babys are still with their mother you can introduce the alfalfa to them around 5 weeks and they will start on their own to feed. as long as mother is still nursing them. don't feed them any fresh alfalfa or vegatables until 8 weeks. I hope that helps!
