Re: Rabbit Breeding

will she do this for
subsequent births or will she get the hang of what to do. My eldest
daughter was pretty upset by it and if this going to happen all the
time I think the best thing to do would be desexing.


There are thousands of healthy but unwanted rabbits put to death in animal
shelters every week. There is absolutely no justification for breeding more. I
don't mean to sound harsh but this is something I feel strongly about - your
rabbits could have up to 8 babies every time, and they can get pregnant again on
the same day they give birth. How are you going to find good homes for all those
babies? Because that will be your responsibility if you allow them to be born.
Separate the males from the females now and have them all desexed ASAP, is my
heartfelt advice. They will be happier, healthier [risk of uterine cancer for
unspayed females is extremely high] and less destructive. Please don't let them
breed. Have a look at the House Rabbit Society website rabbit.org for some good
info.
