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.
According to the Standard of Perfection of the American Rabbit Breeders' Association, rabbits are considered adults at the age of 6 months. Rabbits reach sexual maturity around 4 months of age. Rabbits tend to reach a mature size at around six months of age. Males and females reach sexual maturity at different times: females at around 16 weeks and males at around 14 weeks. Large breeds (giants) reach sexual maturity later than the smaller and medium-sized breeds: it could take them as much as 9 months.
