However, depending on the context, you might hear these terms used slightly differently:
"Mature" can sometimes imply a more developed sense of responsibility and social behavior. A mature rabbit might be:
* More settled and less prone to destructive behavior.
* Better able to control their impulses and respond to training.
* More confident and less easily stressed.
"Adult" generally just refers to a rabbit that's reached its full physical size and sexual maturity. This typically occurs around:
* 6-8 months for most rabbit breeds.
* Up to 1 year for some larger breeds.
In essence, a mature rabbit is an adult rabbit that has also developed a more mature personality and behavior.
It's important to remember that maturity can vary depending on the individual rabbit's genetics, environment, and social interactions.
