Claims

  • A female rabbit can get pregnant at just four months old: Does can get pregnant very young, and are pregnant for just four weeks.
  • She’ll have one to 10 kits in each litter, and if she wants to, she can get pregnant again within hours!
  • A good combination is a neutered male and a neutered female, as neutering reduces the likelihood of fighting in both sexes.
  • Sometimes rabbits mount one another, even after they’ve been neutered, as it’s not just a sexual behaviour, but a show of dominance.
  • They’re quiet, clean, gentle, affectionate, can use litter trays and even be trained.
  • Did you know? Sometimes rabbits mount one another, even after they’ve been neutered, as it’s not just a sexual behaviour, but a show of dominance.
  • Also, RSPCA staff made sure our pair were toilet trained and neutered, and advised how to look after them.
  • `Find a rabbit

Caring for rabbits Rabbits come in a variety of breeds, shapes and sizes, and each bunny has their own unique personality.`

  • She’ll have one to 10 kits in each litter and can get pregnant again within hours! The female kits can also get pregnant when they’re just a few months old.
  • In one year, two rabbits could become 82! To avoid unwanted litters, take a look at our guide to sexing and neutering your rabbits.
  • If you provide litter trays, use newspaper, hay or straw, shredded paper and/or paper-based non-clumping, non-expanding cat litter.
  • Neutering – unneutered female rabbits are at a high risk of developing tumours (in females older than three years of age, incidence may approach 80 percent) and they’re usually fatal.
