His behavior is the same with all does I put in his cage. I have one doe next to him and one doe below him at the moment. I've increased the lighting in the garage to mimic daylight hours. First mating he had a good fall off, squealed and dropped to the side. I feed Manna Pro to my show...

He wasn't interested before I moved him, that's why I moved him.

That's how they looked when we first tried breeding. Now it almost looks like they never dropped at all. We did have all the rabbits in our air conditioned basement, but I thought the lack of daylight might be the problem so I moved them all out the garage. Weather just broke to cooler temps.

I have a ND buck, just shy of a year old that we are trying to breed to a couple does we have. The first time we tried, he mounted the doe twice, put her back in 12 hours later, he mounted her twice again. Put her back in 14 days later and she aggressively resisted him so we took that as...

The local feed mill is 16% protein. I'll get over there tomorrow and take a pic of ingredient label -- Mon Aug 29, 2016 11:11 pm -- GUARANTEED ANALYSIS Crude Protein Mn 16.00% Crude Fiber Mn 16.00% Max 20.00% Crude Fat Mn 3.00% Calcium (Ca) Mn 0.60% Max 1.1%...

I'm thinking of starting a commercial rabbitry. Already have a processor lined up to buy, cages sourced. Now looking at feed. I have a local feed mill that sells 50# bags for 10.99 and I have considered Manna Gro, but it's 17.99. What feed will put weight on quickly and consistently and is...
