Well, I just got one that is 5 weeks old, and he is completely weaned. But I read it is between 6 and 8 weeks that you should wean them.

They can be completely weaned at 5 weeks if they are sow raised they will learn FAST from momma that they are going to have to go out and hunt and root and eat their pellets and not suck as much. My bottle babies can suck up to 7 - 8 weeks because I can't stand when the cute wittle babies beg for a bottle :lol:
