The National Heart Lung and Blood Association reports that 500 mg is a safe daily minimum intake of sodium. This amount will be enough to maintain the bodily functions that require sodium. In an average temperate climate, a normal adult may be able to thrive with as little as 115 mg of sodium each day.
When mature, bucks weigh from 8-10 pounds and females from 9-12 pounds. New Zealand rabbits are ready to slaughter as fryers after just 2 months. Their average litter size is 8-10 bunnies.
Average litter size across all breeds is 5-6 puppies, but it varies greatly across breed and from litter to litter. Miniature and small breeds average 3-4 puppies in each litter, going up to a maximum of about 5-8. Large and giant breeds average 7 puppies per litter but can have a maximum of about 15. The number of puppies also varies with the mother's age. In smaller breeds, both young and old age are associated with smaller litter size. In larger breeds, only old age is associated with smaller litter size.
