Weaning bunnies

Today we started weaning baby bunnies from momma D1.  Late in the afternoon, I took 2 of the 8 bunnies from momma and put them in their own cage.  I don't think they've been nursing much, although I'm not there at night to see what they're doing.  Momma didn't seem to care that I was taking them out... maybe she's thinking "it's about time!".  The two bunnies were curious about their new home, even though it looks exactly like their old home and is right by momma.  I plan to wean 2 bunnies per day for the next 4 days to help momma's milk dry up gradually.  After this, it will be just a few weeks until time to butcher the bunnies.
