How to Breed Hare

First, understand the estrus behavior of female rabbits. During estrus, females become highly active, may grab the cage bars, bite the feeding trough, and have a swollen, reddish vulva. Some may also display behaviors like pulling at hay or nesting materials. If rabbits are kept in groups, they often engage in chasing and mating behaviors. Second, ensure timely breeding. Rabbits are typically bred between March and April. When mating, place the estrus female in a separate cage and avoid putting the male in the same space to prevent overstimulation. If a female is not showing signs of estrus, she can be placed in the male's cage. After being chased and bitten by the male, she should be returned to her original cage. This process can be repeated 2-3 times to stimulate estrus and improve mating success. After mating, gently tap the female’s back to prevent semen from flowing back. To increase the chances of successful breeding, wait 6–8 hours before returning the female to the male’s cage for a second mating session. After giving birth, if the female is in good health, she should be placed in the male’s cage again for a "blood mating" session. Wait 6–8 hours after mating before reuniting them. Blood mating can enhance fertility and speed up reproduction, but it must be done carefully based on the female’s physical condition—overdoing it can be harmful. Ensure proper nutrition and management during this time. After three litters, allow the female to rest for a month before breeding again. Third, manage the birthing process effectively. The gestation period for rabbits is typically 28–35 days. Two days before the expected due date, provide the female with a clean litter box filled with straw. Ensure fresh water is always available to prevent dehydration. Keep the farrowing area warm and allow the female to come and go freely. A dark, quiet space is ideal for her to feel safe. Fourth, focus on nursing and raising the young. After giving birth, the mother usually feeds her kits 2–3 times daily. Monitor the nest closely, avoid disturbing the mother, and remove any dead kits promptly. If you notice a foul smell or yellow urine around the mother’s body, it could indicate mastitis. In that case, isolate the mother and provide foster care for the kits. By day 12–13, the kits will open their eyes, and by day 13–14, they’ll start building nests. Around day 20, they begin exploring and eating solid food. Provide high-quality feed for the mother during this time. Before or a few days before weaning, remove the nesting materials and fur from the farrowing box to prevent the kits from ingesting hair, which can cause hairball issues, or feces, which can lead to coccidiosis. After weaning, provide quality feed and clean water. Young rabbits may overeat, so monitor their intake to avoid indigestion. Add medications like chlorpheniramine, coccidiostats, and dewormers to their feed or water regularly to prevent diseases. In hot weather, rotate the medications. Chopped green onions can also help prevent coccidiosis and digestive issues. Administer sulfamethoxazole tablets once every 5–7 days, but only to one-fourth of the kits. Add a small amount of baking soda to their concentrate feed to prevent Pasteurella, Brucella, and enteritis. These practices significantly improve the survival rate of the young rabbits.
