I think I've read 3 months for the bucks, but I'm less certain I've seen this in relation to the does? I realise they're all individuals, but what's the youngest age you can remember having trouble, derived from sharing a cage? Bucks and does?

I have one who is currently 17 weeks old, and just shy of 8 lb. I'm absolutely in no rush, but was curious as to what ages other people have bred at?

My rex doe (this is her first litter) has been picking up her three kits, and swinging them round. I can't find anything online about this kind of behaviour, and have separated her from the kits. I have a number of questions. 1. Has anybody come across similar behaviour before, and did it...

I bought a pregnant NZW doe last year, who delivered a litter of two. She was transported about fifty miles to my home, and transitioned onto new food. I am open-minded about whether these could be factors, along with the time of year, which resulted in such a small litter. Her previous...

I am checking my litter of two on a daily basis, and this morning, the smaller of the two had a great big cake of dung stuck to its rear end. My wife and I managed to remove most of it, before she went to work, and the animal seems to have been eating and behaving normally since, but there is...

I have two standard rex sisters, who are 6 and 7 months old, same parents, different litters. There have been no issues so far, keeping them in the same cage - if these are likely to develop, is there a 'usual' timeframe for this, in terms of age?

I bought a proven NZ doe earlier this month, and had to bring her home in the car, which took about 90 minutes. I've been staggered by how little she seems to eat, drink, and move. I'm not skilled enough to check for pregnancy myself, by palpating her abdomen, and it's probably a little late...

From what I've read, I would have assumed six months, but a guy with more experience than I have in this saw my buck yesterday, and said he'd be ready to breed in about a month or so. He's currently 11 weeks old.

This is commercially available in my country (the UK) as an import from Spain. I could use some more educated opinions than mine, as to whether this is large enough, and as to whether there are any obvious drawbacks, other than that, that you can see...
