Your question was

"Hello,
I have a 14(roughly) month old dutch rabbit. I got her from a breeder with a very good production of rabbits. When purchasing her, I planned on breeding her later on for show. Now that she is about a year old and its breeding season I would like to go through with it. I have bred various species before and have done more than enough research to take on this responsibility. Since her breed runs small, is there a certain weight that she should be before breeding in case of complications of being overweight? I know that being overweight will make it harder for her to conceive. Also, do you think her age will cause anything to go wrong? I also heard that if you do not breed before a year that there could be complications as well. I would have bred earlier but I wanted to avoid putting winter-weather stress on her. Those are basically my only two concerns at the moment but I am hoping she will have a nice litter that will live. If you have any tips, feel free to add them into your response. I will take all the help I can get(: If you could answer those questions for me, I would appreciate it greatly. Thank You!

-Nathan"

Answer
hi nathan first you have to realise that all rabbits are classed as an adult at 5 months old. and can concieve at 4 months.
only breed her to a good pure buck and just feed as normal and you should get a nice bunch of babys.
at the age she is now it is still ok to breed with her.
