Answer 1

If you want them to breed,then leaving them together will do no harm.

Obviously they will not be producing young until they are mature.

Once you have all the young(kittens) that you want,then you will need to have both of them "done", this calms them both down

Answer 2

Why on earth would you want to breed them? There are enough abandoned rabbits in rescue centres out there and people like you are the reason for it. I know i sound mean but have you any idea who these babies are going to go to once they're weaned? Thought about how you are going to pay for vet fees if something goes wrong?

Your bunnies are far too young to be breeding anyway. They need to be at least 6 months of age. I mean why didn't you research this before you put your rabbits together?

If you had any sense you would have them both neutered and completely forget about breeding them. If you do breed them you'll just be adding even more rabbits to rescue centres through no fault of their own, just because you think breeding them would be cool!

Answer 3

I suppose you may have been given conflicting advice, but 8 weeks is too young for breeding. They need to be at least 6 months. Really you should learn all you can about any animal before you start thinking about breeding. And I hope these two are not from the same litter, as in-breeding may cause problems.

Answer 4

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BREED IF THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF BUNNIES HOMELESS. PLZ USE COMMON SENSE. IF YOU WANT ANTHOR BUNNY GO OUT AND ADOPT ONE. EVEN IF YOU ARE BREEDING YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO BREED.

wow you buy two bunnies and you dont know about breeding and you want to breed them.

PLz rethinkyour choice.

Answer 5

If you want them to breed, I would keep them in seperate cages. And what size breed if your bunny? The youngest they can breed is:

small breed

doe 5 months- buck 6

meduim

doe 6 months- buck 7

large

doe 7months- buck 8

But you should wait a little longer just so that their boddies are working correctly. It can harm the rabbit to breed too young. And possibly kill her and the kits.

please do not try to breed them at 3 months!

Answer 6

NO! you MUST keep them seperate until they are ready to breed. and 3 months old is far too young to be getting the female pregnant. wait till she five months, its not fair to get babies from her when she's just a baby herself. wait she's 5 months at the least until you breed her, i hope you took the male off the female as soon as he got on her coz it only takes a few seconds...

Answer 7

hi there!! dont put them together as the doe will become very stressed and it mite kill her with stress!! and always take the doe till the buck!! wait till the doe is about 6 months and the buck is 7 months!!
