Junior 4-H Rabbit Knowledge Practice Exam

Can you foster the kits of one doe to another?

1. Yes

2. No

3. Only in spring

4. Only if they are of the same breed

The correct answer is: Yes

Yes, you can foster the kits of one doe to another. This means that a doe (female rabbit) can raise the young of another doe. This is often done in situations where a doe may not have enough milk to feed all her kits, or if one doe loses her litter and another doe has extra kits. It is important to note that this can only be done if the does are compatible and have bonded well, otherwise there may be issues such as rejection or neglect of the kits by the foster mother. The other options are incorrect because they involve specific limitations, such as only being able to foster in spring or only being able to foster kits of the same breed. However, fostering can occur at any time of the year and between different breeds as long as the does are compatible.
