How do you know when a rabbit is in heat?

i'm trying to breed my rabbit. lol but i can't tell if she's in heat or not? how can you tell?How do you know when a rabbit is in heat?
Rabbits are in heat essentially all the time, the act of breeding actually kicks their reproductive systems in to gear, so every time she mates after giving birth she is pregnant again.





We started out with 4 new zealand whites at Easter, and by Christmas that same year, we had over 130 rabbits. I don't know if he was just that stupid or he just wanted us to be inundated with the little critters, but my brother was responsible for keeping the bucks away from the does, and quite often, as you can tell, he got them mixed up.





The doe does pull her fur out to make a nest shortly before giving birth, to have a soft bed for the delicate furless babies to keep warm in.





Any way, good luck and enjoy the babies.How do you know when a rabbit is in heat?
rabbits are always in heat aren't they? lol
When the boy rabbit says ';hubba hubba'; to the girl rabbit!
Female rabbits can almost always breed. They don't go into heats in the same way that cats and dogs do.





You'd be better off getting her spayed. Female rabbits have extremely high rates of getting reproductive cancers and those rates are greatly reduced by spaying. Also, there are hundreds of thousands of rabbits who enter animal shelters each year. Why would you want to add to a population that already is too high?
I may be wrong but when they start pulling thier fur out
Put a boy rabbit in there if he tries to mate shes probally in heat?
when it is really hot
My brother raised rabbits to eat and yes a female is always ready to mate! And yes they do pull hair to put in a nest to keep babies warm! Brenda is correct!
