Usually the buck will make some sort of sound when the mating is successful. Frequently it's a grunt noise, but I have one buck who yodels. Very bizarre. Takes about three to fifteen seconds, then he yodels, falls over - while still yodeling, I might add - then lays there stunned for a few seconds. Then he gets up and stomps about the place explaining to everyone how studly he is. He's the silliest one.
Sometimes the buck will chase the female around for awhile, sometimes not. Sometimes he tries the wrong end, usually I'll push them off when they try that since they could end up getting their tender bits bit.
Always take the doe to the buck's space. Otherwise she may try to defend her territory and then there could be a fight. Trim everybunny's toenails before the big event, just in case.
A five minute car ride is sometimes suggested to get a doe into the mood, if she doesn't want to lift for the buck. There's only four days out of the month when she's not fertile, but that doesn't mean she's always going to mate with the buck. Sometimes she just doesn't like him. But, try again in a day or two and she may change her mind. Or let him chase her around a bit, that sometimes changes their mind, too.
