The National Heart Lung and Blood Association reports that 500 mg is a safe daily minimum intake of sodium. This amount will be enough to maintain the bodily functions that require sodium. In an average temperate climate, a normal adult may be able to thrive with as little as 115 mg of sodium each day.
When mature, bucks weigh from 8-10 pounds and females from 9-12 pounds. New Zealand rabbits are ready to slaughter as fryers after just 2 months. Their average litter size is 8-10 bunnies.
Because this breed is so small, when a female is going to be paired with a male, the female should weigh more than the male. This is a key component in aiding the dam to carry well and deliver with the least possibility of complications. The male should be under 4 pounds (1.81 kg) or 4 pounds maximum.The male's parents should be between 4 and 5 pounds (1.81 kg to 2.26 kg). Doing this, will give the female Yorkie a better chance of being able to have her puppies naturally.When these guidelines are not followed, there is a greater chance that the female will need to have a cesarean section.n the flip side, after the age of 5, with 7 being the absolute limit, the female needs to rest. If a person is only planning 1 litter and does so when the dam is 4-5 years old, another litter can be carried safely at age 7.
