Quick question can a 12 week old female rabbit get pregnant?
This is not for me but someone on another forum I use brought two rabbits 3 weeks ago one male one female the petshop owner told her they are 12 weeks old and can't mate. She has now had the male neutered I know he could get her pregnant for about 4-6 weeks. But she wants to know what are the chances the female is pregnant already.

I want to answer her but I am unsure of the facts.

Thanks
Tracey
 
I think it's possible from 10 weeks - if the boy was sexually mature enough to be neutered, he was definitely capable of fathering babies. However females take a bit longer to mature, so although there's a chance she could be pregnant, your mate might get lucky this time.
 
It is possible. I've heard of it happening before, although not that often. The best thing your friend can do is get the girl to a vet who should be able to tell. The vet might be able to do an emergency spay, even though she is young.
