So my little bun-buns are four weeks old today. Roly-poly little furballs who seem to be growing well. Avg weight 1.25 pounds. They seem to be eating hay and pellets well, though still bugging Mama for milk when they want.
When should I go ahead and wean them? I won't be breeding Mama for probably another 5-8 weeks, so she will have a break even if I keep her with them another couple weeks. Will they grow better with milk a bit longer? They get free choice 17% protein pellets, timothy hay, and a couple times a day I put about a tbsp of rolled oats and/or alfalfa pellets in the feeders too. Do I just keep going with that feeding regimen (maybe minus the oats)?
