They will even wound each other with their teeth. It is possible for a receptive female to be courted by several males. A train of several males, all of them jumping and drumming their hind legs, can be seen following behind one female. Courtship between the male and female also includes much leaping and urination. A mother will raise her young without the assistance of a male.
Females give birth in a protected spot in either the grass or the brush.
It is an area where they stomped the vegetation into a rugged nest. The young are born well furred, alert, and with their eyes open. When they are a week old they are actively feeding and moving around. Approximately 3 weeks after they are born, the Snowshoe Hare babies are ready to leave the nest area. This allows the mother to have 3 - 4 litters in one season.
