When wellmanaged, they are very productive, reproducing rapidly and producing good quality meat and fur.  \nThey are useful animals for farmers, village groups and schools.  \nThis book looks at some of the points that often cause problems for smalllivestock farmers.  \nBreeding  \nIf you want to breed your rabbits successfully, do these things:  \n• Learn to sex young rabbits at the age of 8-10 weeks. It is normal to separate the sexes at this time and put them indifferent cages.  \n• Do not breed from the rabbits until they are fully grown —normally around 8 months old. Choose only healthy, large rabbits which have come from large litters for breeding. You only need one buck (adult male rabbit) for about ten females. Bucks should be changed every year to prevent inbreeding.  \n• Males will fight if they are kept together.  \n• When the females are ready for breeding, take them to the buck's cage in the early morning or evening. If the female is ready, mating should take place immediately. Remove her after mating, as they will fight if left together.  \nThree weeks later, move the female into a separate cage with a nest box. She will give birth a month after mating. Do not disturb her for several days! If you need to check the young rabbits, rub your hands over the female before you handle them. She will not go near them if they smell of your hands.  \n• Young rabbits should leave the mother at 6-8 weeks of age. Leave the mother for another month before re-mating.  \nHandling  \nRough handling causes stress and will make the animals more susceptible to disease and can result in the loss of young rabbits — before or after birth.  \nDo not lift rabbits by their ears. This is very painful for them and can damage the backbone.  \nRabbits should be lifted by the skin behind the ears —th","cbCaiiAt6dB7fqp2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiAt6dB7fqp2","pdf",432460,4,1,17,"English","en",105,"# Breeding\n## Sexing and pairing\n## Growth, timing, and after-mating care\n# Handling\n## Stress reduction and safe lifting\n# Feeding\n## Fresh feed, concentrates, and daily care","[{\"question\":\"When should young rabbits be sexed for breeding?\",\"answer\":\"Young rabbits should be sexed at about 8–10 weeks, and the sexes should be separated into different cages at that time.\"},{\"question\":\"How should breeders manage mating and post-mating handling?\",\"answer\":\"When females are ready, place them with the buck in the early morning or evening and mating should occur immediately.
