True or False: A nest box should be placed with a doe as soon as she is bred.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Only for certain breeds

  4. Depends on the season

The correct answer is: False

Nest boxes should only be placed with a doe once she is close to giving birth. If the nest box is placed with the doe too early, she may not be used to it and may not feel comfortable giving birth in the unfamiliar area. Additionally, placing the nest box too early may lead to it becoming soiled or damaged. Therefore, the best practice is to wait until the doe is close to giving birth before introducing the nest box. This is why option B, False, is the correct answer. Option C is incorrect because all rabbit breeds have the same birthing process and therefore do not require special considerations for nest box placement. Option D is incorrect because the timing of nest box placement is not dependent on the season, but rather on the doe's due date.
