Okay, and if I actually let him breed her should I plan on getting a live litter? Or will she just pass both the unknown lump and the semen? I was hoping that she would pass whatever it is so that I could breed her along with my other doe that didn't take next week.

Personally, I would wait and only breed her again when her present litter is 6-7 weeks old. I like to give my does at least a little down time and especially with a rough kindling, a couple extra weeks is a couple extra weeks for her body to internally recuperate.

Miss M, do you mean just putting her in with the buck and letting him attempt to breed her without actually "getting it done"? Or do mean to actually rebreed her? I'll try that later today... Thanks dayna, I paid a lot for this doe so this is a very frustrating and disappointing outcome. I was...

Well, I bought a beautiful, broken chocolate brood doe last month and had her bred by the breeder before taking her home... I watched the breeding and know that the buck got 3-4 successful covers before we removed the doe. Now, 40 days later, I don't know what to do... I gave the doe her nest...

If you are leaving for two nights anyway, the better option is to leave her at home and have someone come feed her each day. It will be less of a change for her and therefore less stressful. And as to the smaller pellets, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as her poop does not turn runny or...

Okay, thank you Otterstain. Could you explain your second answer, though? I'm not sure that I understand... CochinBrahmaLover, I don't believe that split penises have anything to do with inbreeding, but most people do agree that it is a genetic trait passed on by carrier rabbits.

Hey All, I know I haven't been around in a long time, my life is far too busy these days! :P But I do have a question for you all. I found out recently that one of the bucks born out of my father/daughter breeding (I have bred this cross now several times), which I thought was a doe, is a...

I see; well I look forward to seeing what the babies turn out like!

Okay thank you again, Dood! That is very helpful!

Okay, thank you very much! :)

Oh how cute! :) Congratulations! Is Maysie a new rabbit of yours?

Okay, that is quite interesting... I can see that I have much to add to my knowledge of genetics! :) What would the genotypes of those colors look like?

Taking from our other conversation: Should I risk purchasing the chocolate buck that carries (but does not express) the harli gene? I breed only self and shaded colors, but desperately want the chocolate gene which is hard to come by around here. Unfortunately the only breeder around here who...

What will it mess up on the shadeds? Will it mess up any seal, tort, sable point colors, or just the agouti colors?

Okay, call me confused :), but how can you get a black tort from a tort/chocolate cross in which only the doe carries the recessive "e"?

Okay, and Dood this may be for you, what colors can I get if I cross a Chocolate buck carrying harli to a blue tort doe carrying shaded (and she is not a chocolate carrier)? How about the same buck to a seal doe who also does not carry chocolate, but does carry the recessive extension gene "e"...

Okay, thanks for clearing that up for me! And no problem Dood, I actually appreciate the extra information! :) I have been working almost exclusively with shaded bunnies, so I love every bit of color genetics information that I can get! __________ Thu Jun 20, 2013 8:37 pm __________...

Out of curiostity... :) What was decided?

Here is a link Kyle (just scroll down): member/Mountain%20Spice/ And yes, I would agree with single kit theory. Poor mama!

Thank you! It was such a surprise, but quite a happy one, to find a live baby in the nest! :) I took the nest from her last night, and I let the baby rest and a attempt to digest all that milk... :P This morning I checked and its belly had deflated to the size of a regular full tummy; I'm...
