A baby rabbit is called a kit. A female is a doe and a male is a buck.

The typical old age life span is about ten years, and does can produce litters of up to 12 baby bunnies monthly.

The life cycle of a rabbit could be described as:

  • Conception (gestation lasts 1 month)
  • Birth
  • Nursing rabbits in the nest (for the first 4 to 6 weeks)
  • Baby rabbits
  • Sexual maturity (at 6 or 7 months of age)
  • Adulthood (at 1 year of age)
  • Old age (at 6 or 7 even years of age)
  • Death (between 8 and 12 years of age)

Many rabbits are eaten by predators such as owls, hawks, or coyotes before they reach the age of maturity. Rabbits are not rodents, but instead are classified as lagomorphs.

The lifecycle of a rabbit is pretty much the same as any other mammal. They're born, they grow up, they reach maturity, they grow old, and they die. But more specifically...

A doe takes between 28 and 31 days to give birth; the kits are weaned by about eight weeks and can be separated from the mother; between four to six months old the kits reach maturity and can start breeding. A rabbit in the wild usually only lives to six or seven years old, due to such factors as disease and predators, while a healthy, safe, and well-fed house rabbit can live an average of eight to twelve years.

1) a female mates with a male

2) the baby grows inside of her for 29-31 days.

3) the female rabbit gives birth to deaf, naked blind and helpless babies.

4 the babies become adolescents after 4-6 weeks.
