Baby rabbits should be weened or separated from their mother when they are are about 60-70 days old.
About the earliest you can determine a babies gender with somewhat certainty is when it is about a month old. The younger a rabbit is, the harder it is to determine the sex, due to the small size and relative likeness of the sex organs at an early age.

about 1 1/2 months for the gender. But i had two bunnys that i got before they were old enough to tell for sure what gender they were and it was thought they were both females. Because apparently not because we had baby bunnies one day and they all died because usually 1st time bunny moms dont know what to do with their babies and dont feed them. It was quite an experience.

when their between 1-2 months, is when you can tell their gender, usually. they can be separated from their mother when their about 2 and a half to 3 weeks. unless their really small or need special care, then it depends.

The babies can be seperated by 6 weeks, and their sex should be notable at this age.

Babies should not be separated from their mother until eight weeks, or they can suffer problems in future. This article will give you a lot more info -
