Stupid question

[Racingjunky]

Is it the buck or doe that determine how many babies are born?

What are you calling me? LOL, I have NOOO idea, although I am thinking it is the doe since she is the one who puts out however many eggs...

The doe provided the buck is healthy and producing as much sperm as he's capable. I've bred does to several different bucks and always had around the same number of offspring.

The answer is...yes. :lol: The doe needs to ovulate; the more oocytes she produces, the more potential kits she will have.

The male needs to provide sperm cells...he needs to have sufficient sperm count in order to fertilize the oocytes.

A deficiency in either will reduce kit count. Less oocytes, less kits. Less sperm, less kits.

Takes two to tango.
