    If a doe has been with a buck for a couple days, then switch

    out does, do the bucks get tired? .......I mean......do bucks need time to rest before sex starts up? Do they get tired of it? thoughts? THANKS

    Well....my doe passed 9 dead kits...what happened?

    Is this common? Could the next time they all be healthy? thanks

    So...one of my does passed blood.....could be good or bad...

    I have attempted to breed her for the longest time. Is this a precursor to laying? Could it be a sign of another issue.....It is evening when I first realized it. I found it in the nesting box as well as it fallen through the netting.... thoughts?

    My doe only had 2 babies?

    My doe had 8 babies maybe 7 weeks ago. Today she had only 2. Granted when I got her she was bred by another person. Why a small litter? COmmon?

    One of my does was dead this morning....

    ....no condolences necessary... :). I acquired these 3 weeks ago and it was in the cage with another female. I planned on moving them out soon. They were happy and seem happy to see us. There were no injuries or blood as if in a fight. My only conclusion is that they might have been too happy...

    Could feeling the teats of a doe be another indicator of

    pregnancy? I tried multiple times to get a doe to breed. She now sqwaaks at me, seems grouchy and flipped around as if to bite. I really can't feel her stomach to feel for babies. But, I do feel her teats and they are raised up...not like my other doe that had babies 3 weeks ago.... So.....is...

    Since they are already on the screen bottom of the cage, could you realistically leave the bottom open?

    Rebreed at 5 weeks....ween 2 weeks after?

    I am raising meat rabbits. I read somewhere that you could realistically re-breed at 4 weeks and likely ween the current litter a couple weeks later. Have any of you been successful at that?

    doe running in circles while sqwaking ....sign of pregnancy?

    I'll give it a few weeks now....she is grunting every time I pull her out of the cage and fights me. Let's hope she's bred.

    doe running in circles while sqwaking ....sign of pregnancy?

    My buck cage is around 24x24. I have always heard that you don't want too big a breeding cage. You don't want the doe out running the buck....true or false?

    doe running in circles while sqwaking ....sign of pregnancy?

    I have tried multiple attempts in breeding this doe. However, today, I put her in with the buck. She hopped around but began sqwaking and grunting. Was she in the mood and playing hard to get or could she already be pregnant? thoughts? Thanks.

    How do you get a doe in the mood?

    I got this doe 37 days ago. My buck tries to mount her but she still squats. He tries and tries and tries....but she squints and squats. I have added apple cider vinegar to the water...still nothing...I am trying about every other day. I talked to a rabbit breeder today and he said they only do...

    How long for doe in buck cage?

    A quick question.....I have seen on youtube where owners drop of their gal with the buck and all business is done within 10 minutes. I have tried to breed one now several times. She squats and closes her eyes. I have people tell me if it does not happen in the first 10 minutes, it won't likely...

    combination feeding....natural and pellets...how much?

    I have been giving my meat rabbits only 3 oz of pellets a day. I go to the overgrown garden and get handfuls of overgrown weeds and stick them in there in the evening....most are gone by morning. I get carrots from the place I work at and tend to throw those in there every other day. About every...
