How do you know how old a baby rabbit is?

Answer 1

If the rabbits are still nursing then they are under 6 weeks old. It is hard to tell on smaller breeds like Netherland Dwarfs or Polish since they are already a small breed.

If a baby rabbit has no fur it is less than 3 days old. If their eyes are still closed they are less than 10 days old. If the babies have begun to eat but they are losing most of the pellets thru the wire (wasting the pellets) they are less than 6 weeks old. At this point they may still be nursing but by 7 to 8 weeks old the doe has weaned them or is trying to wean them and will not let them nurse.

Answer 2

There is no accurate way, but you can go to the vet. I took my bunny there and then he said 4-5 months. They tell by the teeth but they even have a hard time.If you ask the person you got it from, they might know. I even looked it up. nobody knows. you should probably ask a vet:)

Answer 3

Some indicator's of a rabbit's age:

The condition of the coat - if you give your rabbit fresh food and water every day and give it the best diet, keep it clean with a lot of hay and the condition of the coat is either rough, patchy, dull, oily or scruffy this can show the rabbit is getting older. (There are other health reasons why a rabbit's coat may be patchy - see a vet if you are unsure.)

The length of the rabbit's teeth - an older rabbit tends to have longer yellower teeth than a younger rabbit.

Activeness - An older rabbit tends to be less active than a younger rabbit.

Weight - older rabbits tend to gain weight a lot easier than younger rabbits. If your rabbit suddenly starts to lose weight then seek help from a vet immediately.

Size - A fully grown rabbit is an adult (but not necessarily old). They tend to stop growing around the age of 3.

Veins on their ears - The number of veins on the back of a rabbit's ear will increase as they get older.

You should have some indication from when you first got your rabbit of his or her age. You should try to keep track of that. The average life span for a rabbit is 8-11 year and about 5 years for a large rabbit.

Answer 4

Okay, I know this kind of gross. a male rabbits doesn't get testicles until about 3-4 months of age. When young, a male rabbits testicles are big and full (bulgy like). This is the type of male you would want to use for breeding a doe. An older male's (say, 3-5 year old) testicles may be wrinkly, and flat (sort of "deflated").

Now females here!

A female's genital slit is a reddish purple color when she is in heat or is younger. When older it can get to a light pink.

Sometimes too, an older rabbit's coat can get grizzly and rough. A young rabbits coat is normally shiny and smooth.

Sometimes also, an older rabbit can have digestive problems.

Hope this helped you out.

Answer 5

The genitals will form a little lump as they are able to produce sperm. By feeling the genitals the bigger the lump the older the rabbit.

Answer 6

if new born count how many days u have had it.

Answer 7

Baby rabbits are born with their eyes closed. They are closed for 10 days. After that, I'm not sure how you would tell.
