Odd question here.
So all through the year we see domestic rabbits having litters. On my way to school I used to go along a path between a fieldy bit and lots of bushes. There used to always be wild rabbits hopping around the path (and scarpering into the hedges when they saw me!) but I only ever noticed any baby rabbits in the spring time. Throughout the rest of the year I never saw baby rabbits.
Now, do domestic rabbits 'do it' whenever they can as a matter of opportunity, whereas wild rabbits naturally have good timing and have babies in the spring so they have a better chance of survival?
I'm curious as to why (for me) this has appeared to be the case, or are wild rabbits randy all year too?
