i have a dutch doe that is at 5lbs but she just doesnt have that round look to her. she is healthy she just looks rather scraggly. i hve had her since february and she has had a litter jan 23 (4kits), march 17 (litter of 8 but only 5 made it), and may 23 (litter of 8 again but only 5 made it). i noted her loss of roundness before i bred her the last time but she was going nutzo "BREED ME!!!" and she is healthy and still good weight so i bred her.
she does kinda have a bipolar/schitzo attitude after her litter is like 4wks old. she has weaned at 4wks every time so far. of her own accord.
she is at 5lbs and is healthy just looks kinda scraggly and just not round. she is a good mom though and has good kits. should i rebreed her or just deal with her psycho "breed me!!" attitude until she puts on some shape?
and note i am feeding her BOSS and she practically inhales them. thanks :)
 
I think you may be pushing her too much. Commonly a re-breeding is 6 weeks after birth. Your rabbit was giving birth 7 weeks and then again 9 weeks. I'd give her the summer off and re-breed in fall.
