Lifespan is only 2–3 years, so commit fully.
Signs of a Buck Rabbit in Heat
A buck in heat turns from calm to irritable and aggressive: poor appetite, restless stomping, urine spraying, and mounting — especially with a doe, and fights with other bucks in heat.

What Does a Doe in Heat Look Like?
A doe's heat is mostly induced by stimulus. Breed, age, health, climate, and environment all shape it — summer heat cuts appetite and heat rate, winter cold and scarce greens do too. In heat she turns excited and active: stomps, paws the floor, eats less or refuses food, mounts other does, and seeks the buck; her vulva goes pale at rest, pink early, deep red at peak with swelling, then purple-red. The cycle is 8–15 days, each heat 3–5 days; place her with the buck at the start. Neuter if not breeding.
