begin weaning the kits at 5-6 weeks by removing the mother from the cage for 2-3 hours at a time, increase the time daily until she is out of the cage more than she is in the cage. This helps her milk dry up slowly and prevent mastitis. By the time kits are 5 weeks old they get very little nutrition from mom. They will be eating pellets and hay (no fresh foods until they are 4 months old) and drinking water on their own. At 8 weeks they can be separated into buck and doe cages and go to their new homes.

At 4 months small breeds can reproduce and they bucks will mate with their mother. Kits do not have to be with the mother until they are 8 weeks if they are eating and drinking well on their own.
