My baby bunnies are now 2.5 wks old and when I put carrots, cabbage leaves and apples in for Mum, they all have a good chew at them- and seem to be really enjoying it. I cant see the harm in this as they still suckle a lot from Mum? Is this ok?

Baby bunnies start eating solids from around 11 days old, it is all part of the weaning process, so don't worry it is fine for them to start trying veggies. This website has a good section on weaning that should explain things for you:

Don't forget to handle the babies lots so they are friendly for when they go to their new families.
Good Luck, I bet they are gorgeous.

you should wait till they are about 10-11 days old then you should feed them their veggies. if you've been doing this, then your completely fine the way you are. good luck!
