Hello,
I recently decided to raise rabbits. I've had rabbits for pets for a long time but I recently decided to start raising them for FFA and 4-H. I show them as well. My 4-H leader, Donna, raises rabbits and is helping me but I feel like I'm being really annoying so I figured I'd post some of my questions on here. I currently have a sr. Lionhead doe, jr. Lionhead doe, sr. lionhead buck, Angora doe (pet), and Sr. Mini Rex buck (mom got him. I love him but I just don't have any Mini rex's yet. Maybe I'll get some eventually.) In the order above that I mentioned them in, here are their names: Ziva, Abby, Reid, Babygirl, and DiNozzo. Ziva had two litters before I got her and I just got her this September. Abby is just now 4 months old. Babygirl is a rescue and I have no clue how old she is. She more of my mom's rabbit than anything anyway. I still love her. Anyway, here come the questions.

- When I put the buck and doe together how long do I keep them together?
- When do I wean the kits?
- What age is the first time you yourself would breed the doe?
