How to Breed Rabbits

1. Step 1

   Keep buck and does separate. Three or four does can be kept together in an appropriate-size hutch.

2. Step 2

   Use 1 buck per 10 does.

3. Step 3

   Breed does at their maturity - 6 months of age for small to medium breeds and 9 to 12 months of age for large or giant breeds.

4. Step 4

   Pick the doe to be bred and place her in her own hutch for two weeks before mating.

5. Step 5

   Place the doe in the buck's pen for mating. Place her with the buck twice - once in the evening and again in the morning.

6. Step 6

   Remove the doe after each mating.

7. Step 7

   Place a nest box in the hutch 28 days after breeding.
