Female rabbits can become pregnant as early as 4 months. This is not a good idea at all though.

If you are thinking of breeding your rabbit you should wait at least until she is a year old, and fully grown.

Female rabbits (does) can be bred when they are fully mature, usually 6 to 8 months. That is 18 in human years. Breeding a doe at 4 months could lead to fetal giantism and/ or death during kindling. Every rabbit should have it's own cage by age 8 to 10 weeks.

Rabbits have to be approximately 4 months old to be able to get pregnant. It is extremely unusual and unhealthy if they get pregnant before that. They can continue to get pregnant through out the rest of their lives.

I have the same question for my rabbit, but I have read that the oldest RECOMMENDED age is 2-3 years. I'm not sure if you can breed a 4 year old though.

The chances of a 4 year old doe getting pregnant are pretty slim. That is comparable to a 60 something woman.

a good age is around 1 1/2 years of age, i had no clue how old my bunny was when i bred her, but she sure made a good mom! it really doesn't matter though, as long as their fully grown!

It actually does matter. Rabbits should be bred for the first time before they are a year old. Large breeds can be bred at 8 or 9 months. Small breeds can be bred at 6 months. If you wait to long to breed the doe will have more difficulties. Rabbits can reach sexual maturity as early as 12 weeks so it is important to separate them before they reach 12 weeks of age as breeding to early can cause issues as well.

How may rabbits can 2 rabbits produce over a year?

a female rabbit is able to have a new litter of babies every three months, and a litter can range from 1-10 babies..Answer: Wrong^^A lot!A rabbits gestation period is 30 days and they are able to get pregnant again immediately after having the previous litter of kits. Rabbits also have a horned womb, which means they have two spaces in their womb in which they can hold two separate litters. They can range from 1 kit to about 15.rabbits are induced ovulators, so as soon as there is the prescence of a fertile male around they produce an egg.It is always reccomended to get your rabbits fixed as female rabbits have an 80% chance of developing some form of reproductive cancer by age 4.Also, there are thousands of rabbits in shelters and rescues that need homes. For each kit that is bred that's one less home to a bunny in a rescue.

I have two female rabbits one of them got pregnant with my friends male rabbit my question is will the baby rabbits be all right with another female around?

It will take around a month until the babies are born. You'll need to separate the female rabbits before she gives birth and until the babies have grown up. You should be able to put them back together after. But the rabbit without babies may get jealous and kill the babies.
