Rabbit kits feeding on a female rabbit doe: Cuniculture in Uttarakhand
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 9 Jan 2019
A female rabbit is called a doe. A male rabbit is called a buck. The rabbit kits are feeding on the mother rabbit called dam and the father is called the sire. When you mate two rabbits together, this is called breeding. When you check to see if the doe is pregnant or when you breed her again before she is due to give birth, this is called testing. When the doe gives birth, this is called kindling. She gives birth to a bunch of bunnies called kits. This bunch of bunnies is called a litter. A small breed doe is normally ready to mate when she is 5 months old, and a buck is ready at 6 months. The medium size doe is ready to breed when she is 6 months old and the buck at 7 months. The heavy breed doe is ready at 8 months and the buck is ready at 9 months. In October through December, some rabbits go into what is called moulting. During this period, many do not conceive. If you have lights on all the time in your rabbitry, this will help. Rabbits are like chickens that lay eggs only if there is enough light.
