Is breeding a 5 year old for ok? I have breed my rabbits before at a young age but with different does. I I did breed this one it would be her first. I just want to make sure that she will have a good pregnancy (if I breed her) and is healthy and ok in the end. If there is a chance of something happening what would happen? Please let me know what your thoughts are!
 
Would this be her first litter?

Chances are if she was purposefully bred with a male for the first time at five she may not have anything.
 
It is likely she is infertile and simply wouldn't produce. However, rabbits bred for the first time at 5 are also at risk for pregnancy complications or kindling complications. If she is your pet, I wouldn't recommend it.
