How soon after a rabbit has babies do they mate again?

Rabbits are known for their prolific breeding habits. Here's a breakdown of their mating behavior:

* Gestation Period: A rabbit's gestation period is about 30-31 days.

* Mating After Birth: A female rabbit can become pregnant again within hours of giving birth! This is called "induced ovulation."

* Nursing and Pregnancy: A mother rabbit can nurse her kits while she's pregnant with another litter.

Important Note: This rapid breeding cycle is a natural adaptation for rabbits in the wild, helping them to maintain their population. However, it can lead to overpopulation in domesticated settings.

Responsible Ownership: If you own rabbits, spaying or neutering is the most humane way to control their breeding. This prevents unwanted litters, reduces aggression, and offers health benefits for your rabbits.
