The cottontail rabbit has an enormous reproductive potential. The breeding season extends from late winter through September.
Cottontail does select a nest site in an old field, open woodland, or even around a garden or lawn.
Within 14 days after birth, the young leave the parent and fend for themselves. Does may produce 3-4 litters during the breeding season, and a new nest is normally constructed for each litter. Ideally, a pair of rabbits can grow to 25 in one year's time. Recommendations on this web site do not endorse any commercial products or trade names.
