Dwarf rabbit refers either (formally) to a rabbit with the dwarfing gene, [1] or (informally) to any small breed of domestic rabbit or specimen thereof, or (colloquially) to any small rabbit. Dwarfism is a genetic condition that may occur in humans and in many animals, including rabbits.
Breeding in marsh rabbits occurs year-round. Typical brood sizes are 2 to 4 young with a gestation period of 30 to 37 days. [7] Adult females produce up to 6 litters per year with an average annual production of 15 to 20 young. [8] Nests are built from rushes, grasses, and leaves. The well-covered nest is lined with hair from the adult rabbits.
