About thirty days before your ready for little ones.

Jumpmaster is correct. Tame rabbits/San Juans will breed year round. Have a nesting box filled with straw so the doe can give birth in an enclosed space. She will build a nest that will keep the babies snug, even in below freezing temps, as long as the wind can't blow the hair, with which she insulates her nest, away.

Did you see them breed? When a doe is receptive it don't take a few minutes. You need to see them breed and start counting from then... ;)
