Having decided to NEVER again have just one doe kindle, we now have 3 does bred, with 2 more scheduled for this evening.
Sam (Blue American buck) has successfully mated with Gladiola, a lovely White American who is 9months old (I think) She's quite large, and certainly ready for breeding. I let them sniff noses, her ears went up, I put her in with Sam and she bounced around the pen once, then plopped her body down on the ground with her tail up and lifting for him immediately.
I was thinking about breeding him to Ethel (big blue sr. American doe...mother of those gi-normous kits I have) but i've been thinking about taking her to a show, so that's probably not such a good idea.
Bingo met with great success as well with 1 of his ladies...little Whitey, a himmie English/French Angora doe. She's 7 months, but bigger than her mother and she, also, showed VERY ready to be bred.
Tried with Sophia (black french/english doe, last litter on 7/3) She was NOT very helpful...tried to kill him, in fact. :x But, as she did with Hobbes when she met up with him last summer, she danced around, fought him, then planted and let him breed her ONCE before trying to kill him again.
Bingo will meet up with Chocolate bunny and Vienna this evening. Or at least one of them.
And...here's the cool part...I already have homes for at least 6 of the angora kits that will be born. (the woolers). I don't anticipate any problems selling the Americans, either.
Thorbunny (Beveren) did have a long date with Dora (Beveren) but she was NOT impressed and he was not successful that I saw. We'll try again tonight. They're about to become colony mates, so one of these days.....
