Normally I sell does and bucks between 2-3 months of age after being fully weaned. I offer a service to loan bucks for breeding programs at $25 per successful breeding. All of my bucks are proven and have good lineage.

Can domestic rabbits survive in the wild in Florida?

Technically, yes they can. But you should not set unwanted bunnies loose in the wild. They are not a native species and could disrupt the local ecology. Pet rabbits are descendants of a European species of lagomorph and typically cannot breed with undomesticated rabbits within the US. Pet rabbits spend their lives in captivity and even with good instincts are unprepared for the rigors of living in the wild. Assuming that the rabbits don’t become prey or killed crossing the street they can be quite destructive and reproduce rapidly. Lastly survival rates of domestic bunnies drop to zero if it suffers an injury or disease it experiences in the wild. I’m the US that’s RHDV2 a hemorrhagic disease that’s fatal.

Technically, yes, but you should not release a pet rabbit into the wild. 1) They would be an invasive species as they are descended from European rabbits and not native to the US 2) They are likely to die being unprepared for the rigors of nature, disease such as the hemorrhagic RHDV2, predators and even a small injury can prove fatal 3) Assuming they survive they can be very destructive to vegetation and landscapes and cause a fair share of mischief

Can rabbits survive in the winter in Florida?

The short answer is yes, the rabbits can be kept outside during the winter. A healthy rabbit can survive temperatures as low as 40 degrees with appropriate housing and bedding. I would not recommend keeping the rabbit outside in temperatures below 40 however. While rabbits can withstand cold temperatures more readily than hot temperatures, they cannot survive freezing or near freezing temperatures without accommodations.

What do rabbits eat?

90% of my rabbits diet consists of Timothy hay. The other 10% is comprised of Oxbow Timothy hay based feed, Black Oil Sunflower seeds, free range St.Augustine grass, and a variety of herbs and vegetables from our garden(mostly cilantro and basil). Rabbits can have unlimited amounts of hay and herbs, limited amounts of vegetables and sunflower seeds including leaf based vegetables, and I free feed pellets for the rabbits.

How often do rabbits reproduce?

A rabbits gestation is 30 days although there can be a day or two leeway. Immediately after giving birth a rabbit can get pregnant again and produce a second litter within 30 days. So it is possible to produce 12 litters a year. And with 4-15 being normal litter size ranges you can have up to 180 baby rabbits a year 😳 while that is an interesting thought it is impractical. For starters it isn’t healthy for the rabbit or her kits. Secondly there’s no way to house or sell that many rabbits in a year unless you are running a meat processing plant. And thirdly you’ll run into complications during pregnancy, birth and rearing. Once born a litter needs 2 months to nurse and wean before the bunny will be ok to go off on it’s own. Rabbits cannot and should not be sold prior to 2 months of age. After the bunnies have weened you’ll want to give your doe a month to rest. So in total it takes 4 months from the time of the first breeding before you start on the second.
