Question
I have two rabbits in one cage one male and one female. We just got them at a pet store and i wanted to know how long are they going to take to met so they could have babies? The male rabbit nibbles on the female sometimes on her back. THank you for your time please get back to me.

Answer
If they are old enough to be sexually mature, it probably wouldn't take too long for the female to get pregnant.  Once that happens, it's about a month before she would give birth.

But it may not be obvious that she is pregnant.  These sites give some tips on what to look for and how to handle rabbit pregnancy:
