Poor Mutsy. I wonder how Bunny Boy would feel about you saying that!? So, officially, how old is sexually mature for bunnies....? I've just always waited until at least 6mos......

I think your right..All I know is they breed like Rabbits..;)..Bahahaha...:gig
 
So I was reading through a bunny thread over on byh, there are breeders who immediately put a buck to their does as soon as she kindles!:eek: poor gals! I guess they have larger litters that way....? I could never do that to my mommas. Up until Ginger and Daisy I've always had meat bunnies.... but I never try to over breed and wouldnt. They get to raise and ween and get a couple weeks of time off before I think of mating again. Even though it was unsuccessful until my new doe and buck..... I think that is torture. Well.... back at it. My critters need me....

I believe those that do that are breeding meat rabbits. Use them up and eat them I suppose. I personally wouldn't breed more than a couple times of years, but my breeding career is done for now. My bunnies start maturing at 4 months. I wouldn't breed until after 6 months, but soon than a year for the first litter.

I think they were talking about show rabbits.... but might have been meat rabbits.

not yet. I think they went to good homes. I vetted each buyer before I would sell. Showed the kiddos how to handle them and if they didn't listen I wouldn't sell. If the parents didn't seem I terested I didn't sell. If it seemed like someone just wanting them for meat I didn't sell. I was super picky. Lol. But hey, my animals, my business, my choice, right?
