need some help on mating two rabbits?
Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010i have a male dutch he is about 1 1/2 years. and i have a female mineture lionhead she is about 6 months.they have been in seperate cages and have never seen eachother. will they fight when i put them together.should i interduce them by having the female in the males cage in a smaller cage. I dont want anybody to tell me DONT DO IT CUASE BLA BLA BLA. I have homes for the babys there not going to a pet store or pound so please none of that.I just need some information. Thanks to anyone answering.
well if you are going to breed Please do make sure you have homes for the babies.
you bring the doe to the buck’s cage because she could be territorial about her space, and may fight.
ok you can put the doe in the buck’s cage. get them used to one another. he will mount her, grunt, start humping. if mating is successful he will grunt and then fall off the doe. just to be sure you can try again several times. sometimes if she is pregnant and he is trying to mate, she might ignore his advances. pregnancy is usually 30 days give or take.
but please take note that rabbits are a very fruitful animal. breeding adds to the overpopulation of pets. with rabbits you have to really make sure you are finding good homes, because some kits\rabbits are used as meat and snake food.
i’m not telling you not to breed, but take this into consideration.
