Generally, when rabbits are 3 to 6 months old, their sexual organs begin to mature, which means they have the ability to reproduce.

It is important to know that rabbits can mate and reproduce all year round, and after each birth, they can become pregnant again within 24 hours. In addition, because the female rabbit's body structure is to ovulate after mating stimulation (no menstruation), that is, as long as there is a mating action, the female rabbit will ovulate. Even if the female rabbit already has a baby, she can still get pregnant again, and the pregnancy rate is quite high.

Rabbit's estrus behavior

When the rabbit reaches sexual maturity, it will show different degrees of estrus behavior, For example, they will spray urine to occupy territory, and they can become very eccentric, sometimes like to circle around their owner's feet and make cooing noises, and some aggressive and destructive behaviors such as with their companions Fighting, biting masters, gnawing on cages, digging, etc.

The female rabbit may even experience false pregnancy, such as enlarged nipples, plucking and biting grass, and even milk production, and her temperament will become irritable. In response to these phenomena, it is recommended to sterilize rabbits to improve these behavioral problems. However, if the above behavior becomes a habit, even if it is neutered, it may not be corrected. Therefore, the rabbit should be neutered as soon as possible.

Benefits of neutering rabbits

1. According to data, when female rabbits are about 3 years old, there is more than 80% chance of suffering from Uterine tumors, ovarian tumors and breast tumors, and male rabbits may also develop GG cancer, so sterilization can help reduce the chances of rabbits suffering from these cancers and other related diseases;

2. If the rabbit unfortunately suffers from a disease of the genital uterus and must undergo sterilization to remove the affected uterus, the risk of this operation will be higher, the recovery time will be longer, and the owner will also pay an expensive Surgery fee;

3. The neutered rabbits have a lower chance of suffering from diseases of the genital uterus, so their life expectancy is generally longer than that of non-neutered rabbits;

4. Because of the disappearance of sex hormones, the rabbits have less aggressive and destructive behavior problems such as spraying urine, biting, fighting with their companions, emotional problems, etc., their character will become more gentle, and it is easier to interact with the owner and other companions. Get along with each other;

5. After sterilization, it can prevent the rabbits from being too many and difficult to take care of due to unintended pregnancy; and behavioral and temperamental issues.
