Breeding Age of Holland Lops Question

[Chelw114]

I have a 5 month old Holland Lop doe that I'm debating whether or not to try to breed this weekend. Normally I would wait until 6 months but I'd like to breed 2 at once and have another doe that needs bred now. The 5 month old is the only potentially available doe I have for breeding right this second. She's a bit over 3 lbs and has an extremely wide hindquarter, just a really solid girl overall. What do some of the more experienced breeders think? Can I go ahead and breed her or should I just wait till 6 months and only breed the one right now?

I would breed her now

i breed at signs of readiness which varies with my loppies from 4-6 months, so yeah, I'd breed her now.

Thanks ladysown and dood! I think I'm going to go ahead and breed her. Hopefully she'll cooperate and the other doe will catch this time.
