Question
hi i have recently started breeding rabbits and i was curious about how long a rabbit will live on average? i was also wondering is there an easy way of telling the babies sex?

Answer
hi jess on average i would say about 5 years some live longer some die sooner it depends on how well they are looked after.
its very hard to know what sex the babies are some people like me who have been breeding a long time can do it, but i would advise you to leave it until they are about 3 weeks old then its quite easy.
dont look for testicles as they will not have dropped into place.
