How to Breed Rabbits

Although artificial insemination is available for rabbits, the natural method is the most commonly used. Brothers and sisters should not be mated and unless you are breeding for meat production, you should breed only rabbits of the same breed.

If you are interested in having several rabbits as simple pets, there are many available for adoption at animal shelters across the country.
