of course this is possible, but they will soon adapt after some time.

For small breeds, the optimal mating age is 5 months for does and 6 for buck. For medium breeds, it is 6 for does and 7 for bucks. And for large breeds, it is 8 for does and 9 for bucks.

In commercial setting, males and females are housed together, but the males are neutered, not the females. To house the rabbits, you don't need acres of land.
