Rabbits generally give birth to 6-8 litters a year and breed every two months. Because rabbits are animals with two uteruses, they have particularly strong fertility.

Rabbits can breed at any time of the year, but generally do not breed during the coldest and hottest times. In artificial breeding, rabbits can reproduce normally even in the coldest and hottest times, as long as the temperature and humidity conditions required for rabbit reproduction can be provided.

Precautions for breeding female rabbits:

1. Pay attention to fat and nutrition. Female rabbits should maintain 70% to 80% fat. In order to maintain suitable fattening conditions for female rabbits, it is necessary to properly mix feed and pay attention to comprehensive nutrition, especially indispensable green feed. For overweight rabbits, it is necessary to reduce the amount of concentrated feed, feed more green feed, and strengthen exercise.

2. Pay attention to aphrodisiac and mating. Female rabbits that have not been in estrus for a long time can be stimulated by chasing and climbing male rabbits. Female rabbits can also be injected with diethylstilbestrol or estradiol benzoate, and compound or double mating methods can be used to increase the pregnancy rate and litter rate of female rabbits.

3. Pay attention to the nutrition of pregnant female rabbits. After 15 days of pregnancy, the fetal growth rate of the female rabbit will accelerate, and the nutrition of the female rabbit should be strengthened. At the same time, the feed should be kept clean and fresh. Wet grass, exposed aquatic plants, excessive acidity, and moldy feed should not be fed.

4. Be careful not to touch the fetus at will to avoid miscarriage or stillbirth. It is best to touch the fetus 12 to 15 days after mating. Keep the environment around the rabbit hutch quiet. Noisy, noisy, setting off firecrackers, etc. are prohibited.

5. Prepare for prenatal check-up. 3-4 days before the female rabbit gives birth, move the female rabbit to a rabbit house with good conditions, quiet, warm and safe, clean and disinfect the head box, and spread dried soft grass and bedding in the nest box.
