basic information on rabbits

1. The real name for a female rabbit is doe
2. The real name for a male rabbit is buck
3. When you are talking about parent rabbits they are named as dam and sire(dam being the female and sire being male)
4. When you mate two rabbits of the opposite sex together this is called breeding
5. When the doe gives birth this is called kindling
6. When the newborn rabbits have been born, they are called Kits
7. when you remove the baby rabbits away from the mother this is called weaning


Facts
1. Even if you are sure you have two rabbits of the same sex and they seem to be mating one another, dont panic because this is natural for them it is so they can be more dominant sort of like the king of the hutch! but be careful with this as they may fight and one may get less food due to the more dominant one 'bullying' the other.
2. Rabbits mature alot faster when they are living on their own yet they get very lonely and will need alot of tender loving care!
