No, 2 years is WAY too long to wait. For a dwarf rabbit (such as Lionheads) It should be about somewhere between 5 and 6 months for females 6 to 7 for males. medium sizes like new zealands, it should be about 7 to 8 for females and big breeds such as an angora should be 9 to a year old for females.

There is some debate about this question.

first answer: After about four months of age, although I am sure some vets would do it younger.

a response: no you shouldn't have the spayed, if living with a male he should be neutured. it is a much bigger op for a female and they have a much lower survival rate a rabbit above 5 it has a low survival rate. so you should always have the male neutured, if the female has had babies before she will be much calmer if that is the worry

another response: So long as you go to a qualified vet, it's perfectly safe to spay your female bunny! 6 months of age is a good time to do it, because younger than that is a little more dangerous. It's true that it's a bigger operation to spay a female than neuter a male, but it is very safe: any proper "rabbit-savvy" vet should have above 99% success rate. On older rabbits, any kind of surgery is more dangerous, so this is something you should decide with your vet. But if your bunny is still young, there are many benefits to spaying her:

  • Spayed rabbits are generally less destructive, territorial, messy
  • Reproductive cancer is common in female rabbits - you can avoid this by spaying her
  • Once she's spayed, you can bond her with another bunny

You should ask yourself why you want to breed your rabbit. With the shelters as full as they are. Figure out where to place the rabbits as you probably cant keep all of them.

Rabbits can have anything between 1 and 16 babies.

If you do decide to breed, make Sure both parents are healthy, and mom (if its her first nest) no older then 2 years. No younger then 1 year.

well it depends what u want your bunny to be, a spring baby or a winter baby. spring rabbits are usual and if your planning on selling it, you should probably breed your bunny so its born in winter because they are more in demand then. hope this helps!

Female rabbits are more receptive 3-4 days a week in cycles but can become pregnant any day. Rabbits are induced ovulators and do not come into heat like dogs or cats.

Do bunnies menstruate?

Rabbits do not go in season, they are always in season (rabbits are induced ovulators). The only time female rabbits "bleed" is when they are giving birth, or if they are very ill (with an infection or cancer). If your rabbit is bleeding from the genitals (or anywhere, really), bring her to a vet with experience and knowledge in treating rabbits immediately. See the related questions below for help.
