Best way to breed Holland Lops

[LRabbitry]

I’ve heard so many things about Holland Lops being hard to breed and I was wondering..

I need some advice on what to do if they don’t wanna breed. How can I get them to breed?

Holding the doe down by the shoulders and sometimes lifting her tail should work

How do you lift the doe’s tail.

How do you lift the doe’s tail.

When youve got her held down by the shoulder you grab her tail and lift it upward until her feet are under her, putting her butt in the air

Okay

I posted something a month ago when I was having a hard time getting two of my Holland lop does to breed, and someone responded that they cleaned their rabbits scent glands. I tried that and the next time I put the does in with the buck they both lifted for him. I found a video online demonstrating how to do this. When I need to help out, I gently hold down on the doe's shoulders and put my other hand underneath her belly to lift up her tail. I think it's more gentle than pulling up on her tail, personally.

Could you by chance link the video? Also, how would you clean scent glands?

She goes over the whole process. It's not something I ever imagined myself doing but it worked for us!
