Question
hiya. i hope you can help me. 2 weeks ago i bought a female rabbit. i then bought a male rabbit today with the intent to breed then in time. they are only 10 and 12 weeks old. but when i put the male in the garden with female she want mad and was not happy! ive now got them in there own cages faceing each other, hopeing they will get to know each other!. do you think the 2 babies will breed in time. also i have an older male rabbit about 7 months old. will he be ok with the baby male rabbit? i did put the older rabbit with the baby female but he jumped stregight on her back, so of course the have not been together since. what advice can you give me please i would be greatful. thanks marie

Answer
hi maria-because the two babys were not out the same nest you will have problems keeping the together as they will fight.keep them apart until you want to breed -they must be at least 4.5 months old to breed.
same with the older one it must be kept seperate.
