Small bunnies

Question
Hello
I have small bunnies about 8 weeks old. And i was wondering when should i separate males from females? Thanks :)

Answer
Hi Ratko

They should be separated before they turn 11 weeks old.  Normally the earliest they will hit sexual maturity is 3 months but I personally don't like to risk it.  I have separated my bucks and doe's at 11 weeks consistently and have never had a problem.

Good luck with the bunnies
