When do you wean?

I am not sure when to wean our last litter we didn't wean until a month old, and the baby bred its mom.

We wean at 6wks. Rabbits aren't sexually mature at 4wks old, they don't breed until about 12wks. There had to be contact with another buck.

Wow, 4 weeks old?!

Most of mine stay together for 8 weeks.

So you can bred a female at 12 weeks?

4 weeks wow I wan't even thinking that, he was almost as big as his mom so I just assusmed he'd be fine which he was perfectly fine. There was no contact with another buck I am sure of it, they were in a hutch away from all my other rabbits.
So around 6-8wks I will start weaning them.

It's possible for them to get pregnant at that age but that's it's way too young.

What breed are you talking about? I can't think of any breed that is near full grown at a month old.

Pure muts, the mother looks like a wild rabbit and the dad is my avatar, the baby turned out orange.

I'm so confused, lol...so the baby was actually 28 days old, full grown size, and bred his mom?

Hope you can post pics!

I sold the baby on Easter, but I can post pics of the mom she isn't very big neither is the father, maybe when you breed 2 small rabbits you get one big one she only had one.
