When are Rabbits able to get pregnant

22 11:12:20

Question
I do not want to have my bunnies reproduce, I want to know at what age can they get pregnant. I have a litter of four together and one is a girl, they love to be with each other but know that will not be good, They as of Oct. 6th are 10 weeks old. When should I get the girl at least her own cage.
Thank you for your time,
Diane

Answer
Hi.
Depending on the breed of your bunnies they can become sexually mature as early as 3 months old. So getting her a cage separate from the rest as soon as possible is your best choice. As for the males, once they reach sexual maturity- usually around 4-5 months sometimes as early as 3 also- will start fighting. to prevent this you could neuter them and house them together, or just get them all separate cages too. I myself would get separate cages, because I am not much for the spaying/neutering of rabbits.
