It depends if the female is going through her 'menstrual' cycle at the time of mating. Also if either the male or female is spayed it is unlikely the female is pregnant.

A female rabbit is basically 'in season' all the time. As far as a menstrual cycle goes, I don't know where you got that term. It is not a rabbit term. Sometimes breeding with the moon is your best bet for large litters.

What supplies do you need for a bunny?

Rabbits are a long term commitment as far as pets go, living up to 10 years or more. When cared for properly they are very much like a cat or a small dog with energy, personality and the need to socialize.

In order to provide a healthy and happy living environment you will need the following:

1. a vet specializing in exotics: your rabbit should be spayed or neutered and have yearly exams

2. a cage: it should have a solid floor and be large enough for you rabbit to completely stand up and at least long enough for your rabbit to stretch out (if your rabbit will be confined to it's cage for a large portion of the day it should be much, much bigger!)

3. a water bottle:

4. a food dish: a heavy ceramic one is best so it doesn't get tipped over as easily

5. pellets: a rabbit's diet should consist of only 1/8 - 1/4 cup of pellets each day

6. timothy hay (not alfalfa): rabbits should have access to an unlimited supply of hay each day and this should be the bulk of their diet

7. fresh fruits and veggies: not all fruits and veggies are good for bunnies so check first, of course leafy greens are best but a small amount of fruit makes a wonderful treat

8. a litter box(s): rabbits are usually litter trained and with minimal effort will pick a spot they like to go in and use it consistently

9. litter: never use pine or cedar shavings as bedding as if ingested it can cause serious health problems for your rabbit (CAREFRESH & FELINE PINE are the best out there)

10. x-pen: your rabbit should have several hours a day outside of it's cage for play and exercise (I have several that I attached together and ran around the perimeter of the room so my bunny can run free all day long. It's covered in fabric so she doesn't have any access whatsoever to electrical cords)

11. toys: bunnies can be just as destructive as dogs if they are bored. keep them busy and happy with a variety of toys so they can chew and dig to their heart's content. Some great toys are: a cardboard multi-level house, wicker baskets and tunnels, cardboard cement tubes, hay balls, apple tree twigs, toys that rattle or have bells, a plastic treat ball (similar to a kong dog toy), and lots of chewing toys (check out rabbit supply websites for some great ones)

12. time: make sure you spend time with your rabbit esp. if you only have one, they are social creatures and love to be petted and groomed

13. bunny proofing: don't forget to bunny proof! bunnies can get into anything and they can jump higher than you think. They will chew through cords (and even plastic cord covers) so check daily; they will eat paper, candy, chocolate, plastic, paint, base boards, carpets, etc... so keep as much of it out of reach as possible or don't get too attached to it to begin with.

I hope you are planning on having a "house" rabbit who can run free at least the majority of the day as they will provide you with hours of entertainment and they will have a much higer quality of life. Also, if you havne't already please, please, please do your homework and research the house rabbit society -they offer a wealth of knowledge and can hook you up with a local chapter if you have questions or are looking to adopt. GOOD LUCK!

Where do rabbits die?

The length of time a rabbit lives depends on many factors.

At the top of the list is whether it is a wild or a domesticated rabbit. Rabbits in the wild may only live for two years due to predation by other animals. Domesticated rabbits that are well cared for may live up to 10 years, or even longer. Some have been known to live to 18 years. However, if the rabbit is fed the wrong type of food, or not kept in clean conditions, it is unlikely to live this long.

Another factor is the species of rabbit. Dwarf breeds are more likely to live longer than the large breeds.
