The domestic rabbit is the same species as the wild European Rabbit. Does (females) reach sexual maturity at about 6 months of age; bucks (males), at about 7 months.

A previous answer: Female rabbits are able to reproduce somewhere between 4 and 8 months of age.

Rabbits mature at different ages, depending on the breed. A rabbit may be mature enough to breed (physically adult) as young as three weeks, or as late as 10 months. On average, the larger the breed, the longer they take to mature. Most breeds have reached their full adult size by the time they are 6-8 months old.

Most rabbits enter sexual maturity at around 14 weeks of age, but can be much later at around 8 months, however most agree that at 6 months of age rabbits are considered adults.
