One of my boys was done before he was 4 monthsold....the other woulda been had he not gotten sick. If theyhave "dropped" then they are ready from what I've heard!

Ok thanks very much i was getting a bit worried so thought i'd ask'as you lot know a lot more about rabbits than i do

Make sure yourrabbits are in seperate cages when they turn 12 weeks old as they areable to breed by then.

My vet said i could split them up or leave themand take a chance and if she does get pregnant the nurse at the vetswho i got the rabbits off as offered to take them when they areready'she is a breeder of lionheads.I have'nt bred any thing before andi'm still new to rabbits so am a bit worried about that as well :?

Do not breed your rabbit at such a young age,for the doe it is very stressfull and because she is still small therecould be stuck kits and such.

Make sure they also have separate play times! Even if theyaren't in the same cage together - she can still get pregnant veryquickly!

I would seperate them.lionheads are small rabbits, a doe bred too young could have pregnancy complications.bluebird
