Rabbits are sexually mature at around 3-5 months of age, so they can start reproducing at a relatively young age. This, combined with their short gestation period and ability to produce multiple litters per year, means that wild rabbit populations can grow very rapidly if there are abundant resources and few predators.
In some areas, wild rabbits can become a pest due to their ability to reproduce quickly and damage crops or other vegetation. Population control measures may be necessary in some cases to manage wild rabbit populations and prevent them from causing significant damage.
