[QUOTE="Preitler, post: 344959, member: 3092"] But you say it yourself, you do it your way and if an animal can't cope - bad luck. Your decision, not your fault, but this single aspect also not the does. Fault is not what this is about, but everything we do has consequences. This sure is one way to do it and get what you want long term by selection, but not taking into account pecularities of a spieces can make this a bumpy road or dead end. Like breeding in summer heat. You can do it, and it will work with some or under some circumstances to some degree, but it's not what rabbits evolved for. There are ways how breeding in really hot weather works, with cooling of some sort (I have the nestbox next to a retaining wall with earth on the other side), or old fashioned with underground nestboxes (with removeable top cover). That's not "providing crutches" but taking their nature into account, you don't say "any chicken that can't fend off a fox is lame and it's their fault being eaten, they don't need fences and a sturdy coop". Anyway, you owe her nothing, if you don't like her, invite her for dinner. Nothing wrong with that, life is too short to waste time on animals that don't make you happy. [/QUOTE]
