5-6 months old

The does (female rabbits) have to be 5 months old and the bucks (male rabbits) have to be 6 months old.

Rabbits should be at least 6 months old and be mature weight before they are bred. If you do not know what your rabbit's mature wight is go to arba.org to find out.

The doe (the femaile rabbit) should be bred for the first time between the age of 6 months to 1 year. Bucks ( the male rabbits) can begin breeding at 5 months and can continue breeding until they pass from old age. i know a girl who has a buck who is 7 years old and is still fathering litters.

A doe over 1 year old that is bred for the first time will have a hard time conceiving. This will only get harder as she gets older. did this help if so please say yes. :) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rabbits can be capable of breeding anywhere from 3 months of age on. They should not be bred until they are at least 6 months old and have reached mature rabbit weight for their breed.

To be capable of offspring, female rabbits (does) need to be at least six months old. Males (Bucks), on the other hand, need to be at least seven months old before maturity.

Bunnies start to mature and most can technically mate at 3 months but you always want to wait until they are 6 months to breed them.
