Question
I have a 4 month old holland lop doe that I want to breed. Can I breed her now? Or when is the soonest I can?

Thanks!

Answer
I would wait for the 6 month mark at least. If I might inquire - why are you looking to breed her?
The reason I ask - female bunnies can get quite aggressive after having a litter, not to mention that bunnies that are not fixed stand about an 80% chance of reproductive cancer by the age of two. Your bunny will live a longer and happier life if she is fixed.
