hi there

i have inherated a mom rabbit to find she was expecting and now i have 7 babies that are 5 weeks old they eay lots of greens a stuff but i have been told they should not est this till there older and they should be feed on ginnipig food till there 6 months

and how old do they have to be before they can leave home its been a long time since i had rabbits and this 1 is my sons

Rabbits should be fed rabbit food, never guinea pig food. Guinea pigs have a vitamin C deficiency, therefore any pelleted feed specifically made for them will have higher levels of it, which isn't healthy for rabbits.

Those young rabbits should be fed alfalfa and timothy hay, and a good pelleted-feed (for rabbits). No pellets you feed your animals (whether rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters..) should be the "gourmet" mixes with seeds, nuts, dried fruit/vegetables, et cetera. Half the extra stuff in those mixes can't even be digested by the animal and do a lot of harm. So, when purchasing pellets, get JUST pellets.

thanks for the info it realy helped
what about age to leave is it 6 weeks

At 6 weeks they should be weaned, 8 weeks is when they leave.
