They are ALL very very cute, I cant wait until i get some babies!!
They steal the greens from mom.Are you still letting them nurse with mom?
20 days is extremely too young to be weaning them off. Mom will be nasty about it, but only because they are trying to eat all the time. She is most likely letting them get milk at one certain time of day. They are going to bug her, but that doesn't mean she has weaned them.
Also, they shouldn't be even nibbling on lettuce or any greens at all. Just pellets, hay and oats (that i see mixed in with pellets.)

I disagree completely. I have tried both ways and the babies seem healthier when they do have greens right off the bat. If mom eats it, they can eat it. My babies go in the grass with mom as soon as they start hopping. Each day the outside buns get a diffrent veg as well as little fruit treat, if there are babies eating solids they are allowed some as well. Dillan was started on veggies as soon as she came, 6 weeks, and has grown perfect. No stasis, nothing.
Everyone has their own ways of doing things, just like some people do not feed hay, some do not feed pellets, some do not feed veg/fruit. Just do what you feel is right
