Rabbits can have babies at almost any time of year if conditions are right, but most wild rabbits give birth mainly from early spring through late summer.

Quick Scoop: When do rabbits have babies?

  • Wild rabbits usually have babies between about March and September , with breeding often starting as early as February in mild climates.
  • Domestic rabbits kept indoors or in controlled conditions can breed all year round, because they are not limited by weather or food shortages.
  • Female rabbits (does) reach sexual maturity at around 4–6 months for many breeds, sometimes a bit later for large breeds.

How often can rabbits have babies?

  • Pregnancy (gestation) in rabbits is short: around 30–33 days.
  • A doe can become pregnant again within hours of giving birth, which is why people say they “breed like rabbits.”
  • In a typical breeding season, a single doe may have 3–5 litters , depending on conditions and whether humans are managing the breeding.

How many babies at a time?

  • A normal litter is usually 4–8 kits (baby rabbits), though as few as 1–2 or as many as 12 can occur.
  • Kits are born blind and hairless, open their eyes at about 10 days, and leave the nest at roughly 3–5 weeks.

What time of day do they give birth?

  • The birth itself is called kindling and usually happens at night or in the early morning when the doe feels safest.
  • Kindling is very fast, often around 10–15 minutes from start to finish.

Simple example

If a doe is bred in early March, she can have her first litter in early April, another in early May, and so on through the summer, as long as she is rebred and her health and nutrition are good.

TL;DR:
Rabbits can have babies roughly a month after mating, can get pregnant again almost immediately, and in the wild usually raise litters from early spring to early autumn.
