Small buck large doe Holland Lops

[CheleBelle75]

I have a 3.5 pound buck. I have large doe she's 5 pounds. When I put them together she lifted and they mated but he didn't fall off he kinda fell on her back. Do you think he was successful? I think he couldn't fall off cause she is so much bigger than him. After about 4 times of this she started running from him and grunting. He is young but he is proven.

Sounds like success to me. I've had a tiny 1lb 14oz Polish buck breed relatively huge 5lb (false dwarf) Polish doe. A "fall-off" doesn't necessarily mean they fall off - this guy ended up like yours, kind of straddling her back. I wondered if he felt dizzy from the height, as she was really lifted!

My momma loves the hollands and she was excited the day I took Callie to visit Conway. I came back in an she asked me if it was a success I told her i didn't know. She kinda looked at me strange. I said he didn't fall off he kinda just fell on her back. I said I think she has so much junk in the trunk that he couldn't fall off.. lol..

The FUNNIEST breeding I did was a 2 lb lionhead buck with a 12 lb meat doe. OH MY.... They were successful and I discovered that large breed rabbits with a full mane around their head (by no means proper looking lionheads) are gorgeous.

A few years back I had a foster rabbit that was a Lionhead Flemish mix and he was very pretty

That is a beautiful rabbit. I never would thought. It's as cute as a speckled pup under a red wagon..
