How old is she? How long have you had her? What are you feeding her? What time of day are you trying?
number of things you can try.
- switch cages of the buck and doe
- apple cider vinegar in the water
- wheat germ added to feed
- patience
- stretching the vent area a couple of times
you also need to consider her age, her health, time of day etc

Yes, I have had this happen with young and old does. One thing I found that helped is the Apple Cider Viniger and leaving the lights on longer during the winter months. I have also tried lifting dos for the buck, my experiance from doing this I got abot 50% conception. My best results were with adding extra light for the winter months. Just keep trying, spring is near longer days and warmer days it will happen. Good luck
shes right at 8 months; ive had her 2 months; i try in the late evening<br /><br />__________ Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:19 pm __________<br /><br />how much apple cider vinegar would you put in a 2 litter bottle to make her breed?
I have a satin I've been trying to breed since September...ugh.
I add ACV to the water at a TBL per gallon, but I've heard 2 is good too. I would add anywhere between 1/2 and 1 TBL to a 2 liter bottle. I have noticed a huge improvement in my all of my does' receptivness. I also use lights. There is the camp that says you don't need them and the camp that says you do. I can go without lights for a week and nobody will breed. I turn them on and 3 or 4 days later they will. I do about 15 hours a day.
I used to breed in the evening, but have found that early morning breedings go much smoother. I breed before feeding. If your does are hungry and you put them in a bucks cage that has food, she will often decide that it is a free meal.

try her in the morning...some rabbits are morning breeders.

All good pointers: ACV, early morning breeding, lights if possible. A nice sunny morning never hurts either.
I'd also add some dark leafy greens (parsley, carrot tops, dandelions) to her diet and a couple of teaspoons of raw wheat germ (or 5-6 drops of wheat germ oil) over her food. Vitamin A and Vitamin E are important for breeding and they can both be lost from feed during storage over time or from heat.
