:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :oops: sorry jil i dont know maybe a trip down the vets for some help would help! :lol: :lol:
 
hhmmmm, I would like to know this too, sure there must be a time when the females become un-fertile for their own sake :? :? :? I guess the question could be raised as to why there is an age limit on breeding, this might give us an insight :? :?
 
Well theres a question :lol: , not sure but i would think so maybe not quite like our own. Bredders of show rabbits will start a doe off breeding at about 6 mths or later for the bigger breeds. Then would probebly stop at about 2- 3yrs and retire them. Of course they could carry on for a lot longer if left to there own devises :lol: , but i would guess its unlikly for a rabbit to have any babys after about 5-6yrs. Thats just my opion though, im sure someone may no of a rabbit that had some later. As a rule their litters get smaller with age so if they were done to one baby at a time then they would be getting to the end of the breeding time. If a rabbit is very overweight it will stop them getting pregnant though. I think we could do with a vet to answere this one. val :lol:
