Uh oh...

Just went outside and found my 3 1/2 mo flemish giant buck outside of his playpen. He was safe and sound, but he was next to my approx 4 mo flemish giant doe. She was tethered in her harness. I didn't want to have kits, in fact was getting ready to take the doe in to get spayed. Are they old enough? I haven't seen any signs of "maturity", but have never owned rabbits before. Yes, I'm clueless.

She is old enough for most breeds, not sure about flemmish-

You could do an e-spay (maybe) so there will not be any kits.

"Sexual Maturity of a rabbit 16 - 24 weeks."

Flemish Giants should be 9 months old before you breed them. Large rabbits mature slower than small rabbits so they may not have been old enough to breed yet. I keep rabbits but have never bred them so I don't know much about that. I want to get a Flemish Giant though so that is why I know the 9 month thing.

 

[boxermom]

I've only been finding when they SHOULD be bred, not when it's possible to be bred. Horsefly, I may have some kits available in a few weeks.

Hope not...

It's not too early to spay, and since you caught this potential "accident" so soon, the vet can still spay in most cases.

i used to raise flemish and yes, 9mths old to maturity so u should definately be safe.
