To get your rabbit used to eating grass offer small amounts to start with. Grass can cause digestive upsets in rabbits that are not use to it, in the wild baby rabbits would start eating grass at 3 weeks of age and domesticated rabbits are brought up on hay and rabbit mix. Remember to always pull the grass up, and never feed grass clippings as these can cause fermentation in the guts.
Judging their age is important. Rabbits eyes come open at about 10 or 11 days after birth. Hand feed them until they are 14 days old. They will start eating on their own - hay, carrots, and rabbit pellets around 14 days old. They should be released into the wild when they are 4-6 weeks old. Don't keep wild rabbits together after they are 2 months old - they will tear each other apart.
