Thanks.

Okay, I didn’t know that there was a certain age to stop though.

I’m just asking, I thought it was fine if the doe is two pounds lighter than the buck.

I know, but she isn’t underweight, she’s eating. What I’m trying to ask is it okay to breed the two even if she’s about 4 1/2 to 5 lbs?

I wanna say Hope is anywhere between 4-5 pounds, but she had recently lost an older baby of hers, named Chicka. So she might not eating as much as she did, but her bowls empty almost everyday. Now my buck (Bucky), last time I weighed him, I think he was almost 8 pounds or close to 8.

What I’m asking though is if she weighs less than he does by three our four pounds would it hurt her? Like would she have a hard to having the kits?

We have a scale for people, I’ve weighted my buck on it before. But my doe (Hope) won’t even let me pick her up, let alone weight her.

I’m not sure how much my doe is, she doesn’t like being handled much, but I’m pretty sure that my buck is between 7 or 8 lbs. Would it still be same to breed them even if the doe is a little under 6lbs? I mean she’s fully grown, she’s five. I’m not sure if that contributes to anything. This is...

I have a question, I have either a Standard or American Chinchilla rabbit (Buck) and a Mini Rex (Doe) and my mom and I want to breed the two, but I’m not sure it it’ll be safe to breed the two or not. Can someone please help me before we do, I don’t wanna do it and then my female dies.
