Being a sexual mature age (or sexual, for that matter) heterosexual male or female, Age of Adoption is the correct term to use when discussing when a rabbit reaches adult size and stage where sex is desirable.
Mostly males at this stage are interested in nonpolar tissue such as fur, females are probably more open-minded about what a rabbit finds attractive. When talking to potential bedmates, it helps to know if they’re female or non-female.
Since most people associate male rabbits with breeding, it is important to discuss sexing at this stage. Using a fine-tipped pen or marker, make an outline of the inside of the cheek just below theAdam’s Apple where it joins the next tissue line.
If you have a camera/phone/thingy, you can also do this using photographs instead of just words.

depending on the breed
Some animals, especially older ones, may not discover sexual maturity until their very old age. This is due to either limited exposure to sex or limited access to appropriate sexual partners.
When a young animal gets the chance to participate in sex, it helps establish its sexuality and fine-tune its sexual skills. The opportunity to engage in sexual activity is important for both maintenance and development of health and socialization skills.
The use of reproduction as a way to maintain population stability is essential for animals with limited sex access. With only one or two opportunities per year, management concerns for breeding seasons can be a challenge.
íWhatever the case, if your rabbit is older than about four years old, there are some things you should be aware of that affect their health and behavior.
they can have multiple mates
Some age before others in regards to mate quality. Age is considered maturity for two reasons. First, when a young animal is not yet ready to reproduce, it is considered young by the standards of the species.
Though reproduction is not necessary for growth and development, this opportunity to produce offspring is. Some animals have Reproductive Clues that indicate they are past their fertile years but still capable of producing offspring.
In rabbitry, you can have animals that are ten years old and still breed. Some breeds even have a retirement age!
The second reason age is considered maturity is because some animals can stop breeding at certain ages.
they are very curious about their surroundings
This is another reason why older rabbits are more versatile. You can use them for small animals, such as pocket gophers or small rabbits.
They can be trained to sit and stay, so you do not have to worry about them learning to fuck. Some experts even say they are ready at around five months, while others say six months.
Generally, males are more active than females and get bored sooner. So, if you want a sexed up rabbit, get a female with more energy. She will probably be happier in your home too, since she will try to escape more often!
Some experts recommend getting a four-week-old rabbit that is two pounds (1 kilogram) for two reasons. First, this allows the animal enough time to gain some weight and second, it helps with deciding when they are mature enough for sex!.
they can have multiple litters a year
This is ideal for people living in hot or humid environments, as rabbits can produce baby rabbits any time of the year.
Most rabbit owners start letting them out of the house at about five months, and they are ready to be handled at about six months. Once they are old enough, you can take them for a walk!
At this stage, they are still very cute and might play frequently. You can check them for tummies by trying to slip a finger into one of their whiskers. If it goes in easily, they’re ready!
Most rabbit owners keep them in the household for about three to four weeks before allowing them outside for their first walk. This is to get them used to being outside and breaking their winter sleep pattern.
be prepared for loud noises when mating occurs
When a female rabbit gets ready to mate, she typically will vocalize by jumping on her partner and/or rolling on top of him or her. This mating behavior is fairly normal and even expected.
Mating is not a precise process like in humans when we consider a manhood size rod as lined up correctly and it goes in. It is more of a physical process for this mammal.
The two parties engage in vaginal intercourse for about fifteen to twenty minutes before either party feels satisfied and turns in bed so the other can join them.
know the temperament of your rabbit
being sexual maturity doesn’t mean a rabbit will actually engage in sex, it’s kinda important to know what and who your rabbit is!
A young rabbit will tend to try a few times before he or she gets enough stimulation to engage in sex. This is normal behavior for breeding animals. You can help your rabbit feel more comfortable during sex by performing self-dovies or letting them mount you (this is called bottom feeding).
Some species of rabbits such as the lemons, may never mature into a maneed animal and stay baby-ish throughout their life. These individuals may not need any tips on how to be sexual or how to meet a mate!
We present here the characteristics of older male and female rabbits, why they are different, and what you need to know if you want your bunny to get bigger or go maneed.
know the behavior of your rabbit
a lot of people believe that adult rabbits can have sex at any age, but this is not the case. In fact, there are a few ages where sex is recommended.
The average age for penetration in males is about 4–6 months and 8–12 months for females. The average length of time for male intercourse is about 3–4 hours and the length of female intercourse is about 2–3 hours.
The only two times when male or female rabbits should not be having sex are if the male or female is sickly or if it has recently sex with another male or female to make sure you do not have a baby rabbit involved.
If your rabbit has already had two weeks of sex and nothing seems out of place, then there is no need to wait for the third week to have more sexual contact.
is your rabbit spayed or neutered?
Newer rabbits have more difficulty getting and maintaining sexual maturity. This has been attributed to genetic factors, changes in the environment or social factors, androgenic compounds in the environment or in shared foods, beverages and surfaces, and social interactions.
Your rabbit may be younger if he or she has not yet learned how to adjust to life in the open setting and for long hours of activity. This can be attributable to lack of male assertiveness or confidence in sex and reproduction.
If your rabbit is older, there are additional health issues that need to be considered. For instance, a blind testes (bilateral infarct) or no testes (radial infarct) can confirm if a rabbit has been neutered. Often, with further research, two surgeries are needed to fix this!
Newer males can have technical difficulties during sex which can lead to loss of fertilization (or nonreproduction) opportunities.
