Why do you want to breed them? Theyare pet store rabbits, no? They're not even the samebreed. Breeding mixed breed rabbits from a pet store is NOT agood idea. You have no idea what they carry in theirgenetics, which could include potentially lethal defects. Youdon't know their background, their histories, anything about them - youcould end up with serious complications with the mother and offspring.
Also, what do you plan on doing with the babies, if they are bornhealthy? There isn't much demand for mixed breed rabbits, andthere are already tons out there needing homes. Many are ondeath row in shelters. Why create more?
If you are serious about breeding rabbits, it's best to learn about theanimal you have as a pet first, then find a mentor to teach you andeducate yourself all you can on the subject.
I already wrote this up for another post, so I'm going to copy-paste:
Hundreds of rabbits and small animals - baby, young, old, mixedbreed, purebred, of all sizes and ages - are euthanized in animalshelters all across the country every day because of situations likethis.
Responsible rabbit breeders (of which there are few and farbetween, in my opinion) have taken a great deal of time to learn allthe facts behind breeding, as well as carefully choosing theirPUREBRED, genetically sound stock. They work to improve the rabbitbreed, not only in looks but in temperament and health. They don't justbreed for the fun of it. They recognize there is anoverpopulation problem, and that breeding more animals has a costbeyond that of money. They never sell to pet stores or to unscreenedhomes, or dump their "culls" in shelters or flea markets. They neverbreed rabbits with known health or temperament issues, nor breed mixedbreeds to sell to auction or pet stores to "supplement" their income.
Rabbit breeding is a complex, difficult field that requires not onlymonetary resources (do you even have money for a vet if something goeswrong with your doe or the babies?), but a great deal of knowledge ingenetics. Even if you think you can find homes for the babies, pleasedon't breed pet rabbits, particularly those of unknown history andmixed breed. Mixed breeds make just as wonderful pets, but there is noreason to add more animals to this world unless you work to improve abreed in
all aspects. There are far too many animals out therealready that need homes, and way too many irresponsible and unethicalbreeders as well.
If you're going to breed, learn about it and DO IT RIGHT.
I would highly suggest you read the following links and take them toheart. Yes, the first three have to do with guinea pigs, butthe same applies to rabbits.

Get both of them spayed/neutered, learn what rabbits are like as pets,and THEN consider breeding one day (with pedigreed, purebred stock!)
