Responsible Breeding

Essential Rabbit Breeding Guidelines

Follow these expert-recommended practices for healthy, ethical rabbit breeding

Pre-Breeding Health Check

Ensure both rabbits are healthy, check teeth for malocclusion, verify proper body condition, and screen for any signs of disease.

Optimal Breeding Age

Small breeds: 4-5 months, medium/large breeds: 5-6 months, giant breeds: 8-9 months. Never breed before sexual maturity.

Responsible Breeding Schedule

Allow 35-42 days between litters for doe recovery. Avoid overbreeding to maintain rabbit health and longevity.

Temperature Considerations

Avoid breeding in extreme heat (>85°F) as it can cause temporary sterility in bucks. Provide cool shelter in summer.

Genetic Health Screening

Never breed rabbits with congenital faults, malocclusion, or hereditary diseases. Select for good temperament and health.

Foster Care System

Breed multiple does together to enable fostering between litters, improving kit survival rates for large litters.
