Hi and thank you for your question, Most rabbits reach sexual maturity at the age of about 4 months, but this also depends on the breed, size and individual differences. Males may try to mount other rabbits and/or become territorial and aggressive. Females often become aggressive and may bite. In males the testicles become developed and descend into the scrotum on each side. Regards
