Breeding Rabbits

Breeding Rabbits. Breeding domestic rabbits, from mating the buck and doe, to weaning the bunnies. Here are links to all the reproductive and maternal stages of rabbit breeding.

We have several web pages that cover different aspects of breeding, including care of does and kits.

   RABBIT REPRODUCTION

Rabbit Reproduction is everything you need to know about how big bunnies make little bunnies, who grow up to make more little bunnies. We have put all of knowledge into this great eBook, so it's comprehensive about the entire reproductive process. You can have everything available on your computer in one spot, AND you can also print yourself a copy to take out to the rabbit hutch when you are checking on your fluffy bundles of joy. Here are just a few of the many subjects covered:

• Is my rabbit pregnant?
• When can my rabbit get pregnant? (And how often can she get pregnant.)
• How will I know if she is pregnant?
• What does she need?
• What does she do?
• What can I do if there are complications?
• What should I look for? 
• What do the babies need?

The only thing this book doesn't cover is throwing a baby shower for your rabbits.

******Testimonial: the index in back is a life saver. It has everything! Any time I need to know something, I flip to the index in back and it takes me straight there. This is so much better than trying to get through an online search engine that gives you a ton of results that are just selling unrelated junk. This book is also written for real people, and not filled with a bunch of technical jargon that you don't know if you aren't a vet. I love this thing! Gina, Washington state, July 2020.******

Here are our web pages
on the topics of breeding rabbits and the
stages of rabbit reproduction

But first: Are your rabbits in good condition and capable of reproducing? Obese rabbits have difficulty reproducing. Obese rabbit bucks are less fertile, and if the obese rabbit doe does manage to conceive, she will be at additional risk for complications. Check the Obese Rabbit page for more information.

• Rabbit Mating: To mate rabbits, take the doe to the buck. Important: if you take the buck to the doe, the fur will fly, as does are very territorial. If she's not 'in the mood,' she'll wreak havoc on the buck.
• After the rabbit breeding, the gestation period for a female rabbit (doe) is 31 days.  The doe can kindle (give birth) between day 28 and day 35, however 99% of the time she’ll be punctual - between day 31 and day 32.
• Pregnant Rabbit: Is the doe really pregnant? Here are some signs to watch for in a pregnant rabbit.
• Rabbit Pregnancy: More info on rabbit pregnancies - get practice interpreting confusing rabbit pregnancy signs in one breeder's three Californian does.
• Rabbit Nest Box: How to prepare the rabbit nesting box and when to place it in the doe's cage. Nest boxes are essential for breeding rabbits. We prefer metal nest boxes, but, some wood nesting boxes will serve very well. 
• Fetus Images: Just so you know, a rabbit pregnancy occasionally doesn't go exactly as planned. (Advisory: these are photos of actual fetuses. Some may find these images disturbing. These images are provided to help educate rabbit care takers. All rabbits in the images were treated with dignity, respect, and gentleness.)
• Pregnant Rabbit Behavior: Click here for a true story about a pregnant rabbit that nearly fooled us...
  
  

• Rabbits Giving Birth: The glorious moment usually occurs in the middle of the night, though this is not a hard-and-fast rule.
• Warming Chilled Kits: We hope you never discover a kit on the cage wire with the body temperature of a popcicle. But there might still be hope, unless the kit is frozen solid...
• Taking Care of Baby Rabbits immediately after kindling, and especially if the doe needs a helping hand during or shortly after kindling. Keep an eye out for little kits dropped accidentally outside the nest box.
• Care of Baby Rabbits - during the first two weeks of life or so.
• Raising Baby Rabbits - from about 2 weeks of age to weaning.
• Weaning Rabbits - When and how to wean bunnies safely
• Weaning Worries - all kinds of fears and misguided ideas exist on the web about bunny weaning! Allay your fears by learning the biological realities of weaning young rabbits, so you can safely wean your rabbits, or purchase a safely weaned bunny.
  
• Sexing Rabbits - how to determine the gender of the baby bunnies as early as 2-3 weeks of age.
• Rabbit Pedigree Charts - what a pedigree is, and how to create pedigrees for your new rabbits
• Info on Rabbits and Bunnies: Rabbit information, including frequently asked questions and answers (FAQ) about pregnant rabbits, rabbits giving birth, and taking care of bunnies

When to re-breed a doe depends on a number of different factors.  Some breeders simply breed every three months. This gives the doe plenty of time to rebuild her condition.  Others let the doe's condition dictate the rebreeding schedule.

Breeding rabbits can provide unforgettable experiences when done wisely, and is especially valuable for teaching kindness, empathy, and animal husbandry to children.

"The righteous man regards the life of his animal"
(Proverbs 12:10)
