End of dialog window. The real wow factor of rabbit reproduction is how fast they get around to breeding, and how often they can do it. The average rabbit reaches sexual maturity at 3-8 months old, and they have the rest of their 9-to-12+ years to get it on (though egg/sperm production drops off at around 3 years). Their breeding season lasts three-quarters of the year, and the does don't have an estrous or heat cycle. They're more or less ready to mate all the time.
The period of gestation lasts for 1 month. The average litters comprise 4 to 12 juveniles, with larger breeds having larger litters. The baby rabbit is known as kit. These kits begin to wean after 4 to 5 weeks. This implies that a female rabbit gives birth to around 800 kits each season, which is by far the fastest reproductive rate amongst land animals.
