So. They're BIG rabbits. I know I've read that you wait to breed until the does are a good size, but to breed before a year of age?
Is there a weight idea (as I've seen for some other breeds) where you want to breed "about XX weight"? The buck, of course, was ready months ago :mrgreen: and is, in fact, the proud papa of the little blue furry TANKS that Ethel kindled. The American jr. doe is quite large now, and a solid chunk. The beverens are slimmer, but just as high and long. I'm fairly certain that the American is 7 months old. the beverens are maybe 6months? (I don't have birthdates for them yet)
Is there a negative to waiting until they're closer to a year old? (none of these three will be shown as juniors)
