They should be weaned by 5 to 6 weeks. They will start biting the mom while they are nursing and make her teats sore. This is the reason she will run from them and try to bite them.
It is actually best to keep the kits with the mother for 8 weeks. They do not have the intestinal bacteria needed in proper amounts to keep their gut healthy until that time. Any stress before that time can cause diarrhea and they can die within hours from this. Many kits die from being removed at 4 weeks. They may survive but it's safest at 8 weeks. Genuine buyers interested in the well being of their pets will be happy to wait.
By 8 weeks commercial rabbit breeders are butchering fryers. Any commercial breeder will have re bred his doe by the 3rd or 4th week of age of the first litter. He will be feeding the litter, supplementing the mother's milk. You start pulling the healthiest (biggest) babies off the doe by 5 weeks gradually pulling them off daily until the doe has no milk and also has time to rest before the next litter arrives in a week. Californian rabbit fryers reach butchering weight between 8 and 10 weeks.
