We used mixed-effects regression models to explore the influence of genetic pedigree (% CB) on pairing success, growth, and survival during the 10-year captive breeding program at Washington State University, which included controlled pairings and outbreeding with pygmy rabbits from Idaho. Pairing success, juvenile growth, and juvenile survival declined with increasing CB pedigree of 1 or both parents, suggesting inbreeding depression among the small number of related founders. Demographic variables such as age, sex, and previous pregnancies, and environmental variables such as month and temperature at birth also were associated with production of pygmy rabbits. Our study illustrates the difficulty of retaining a unique genome of a small source population while simultaneously producing enough rabbits for restoration into natural habitat as part of endangered species recovery programs.

Fibonacci series helps to find a solution to this scenario.
Let us assume there is is one female juvenile rabbit, initially.
When the rabbit is one month old, it matures to become an adult female rabbit and gives birth to another female rabbit.
No. of female rabbits in 'n' th month is equal to the sum of female rabbits in (n-1)th month and (n-2)th month.
When this process continues till 10 months, below are details of number of rabbits at the end of each month.
At the start -> 1
1st month -> 1
2nd month -> 2
3rd month -> 3
4th month -> 5
5th month-> 8
6th month -> 13
7th month -> 21
8th month -> 34
9th month -> 55
10th month -> 89
Answer: There will be 89 female rabbits after 10 months.
Hope it helps!
