However, I think there's some "fudge room" here as kits typically travel with Mom between 8 to 10 weeks... not just exactly at 10 weeks. I tend to think it's like human babies... some are willing to be weaned sooner than others. :)
Here's a cool age chart I got from a rehabber. You might want to save it to your "favorites". :)
When five to six weeks old, most can walk, run, and climb very well.
Seven-week-old babies will engage in active (and sometimes rough) fighting characterized by growling, squealing, biting, wrestling, and imitating adult defence postures. They remain in their birth den until they are about seven or eight weeks old, at which point their mother moves them to a series of alternate dens.
After about eight to nine weeks of age they begin eating solid foods in the wild and by 10 weeks they travel with their mother.
By four months old, they will be completely weaned and somewhat independent.
