2-month old male rabbit

Question
Can a 2-month old buck get an older doe pregnant? I have a buck that turned 2 months old on October 29th and now his aunt (who is 9 months old) is pregnant and the 2-month old buck is the only buck she's been around.

Answer
Yeah it is possible for a younger buck to breed. Dwarf breeds come into sexual maturity as early as 3 months, sometimes even early. Thats why i separate all babies from mom as soon as they are weaned- as early as 6 weeks old. All rabbits are in their own cages at 3 months to prevent unwanted and unexpected pregancy.
