When's The Best Time to Breed Your Doe's/Here's How to Tell

[@kellyware4210]

It’s great to grow and harvest and dry all these plants the rabbits like, so you have a good supply through the winter. Some Rabbitery owners think you shouldn’t give wet greens to rabbits, but dry everything. Just a concept to help support everybody drying their excess.

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

That’s correct, greens hold a lot of water and can cause diarrhea and even bloat if not introduced gradually. It helps to feed mama before the kits are born so her cecotropes will have the right bacteria to inoculate their stomachs.

I think I commented on this video a while back but I just wanted to say that these videos have been super helpful! I bought two female rabbits because I thought I had a girl and a boy but it turned out to be two bucks. So anyways, now I have 2 does and 2 bucks! They are expecting and due in late October! I’m selling the manure and used hay as garden mulch and it couldn’t be going better! Thankyou for all of your helpful info!

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

Awesome! thats great to hear. Thank you!

[@12BunsAndMe]

@@TheRabbitryCenter I just felt the babies move in my Doe this morning. Most amazing thing ever🥹 I read that you could feel them but I didn't think it would feel so amazing. I could feel one little one kicking around. I've felt gut movement before so that i could tell the difference between gut and kits and this was definitely a little one kicking and moving around! So sweet. She is a thinner rabbit so it made it easier but she is healthy! I can't wait to meet the little one that was kicking my hand!! Such a sweet moment🥰

Ive just started a mixed small plot for our rabbits, thanks for ideas on what other things to add in for them as we go along .

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

I’m really glad the ideas for your food plot were helpful. Since you’re working on your plot, I wanted to let you know that we’re currently offering a Feed course at half off, which covers even more in-depth tips and strategies that could be useful for you. No pressure at all-just thought I’d share in case you’re interested! bobby-s-school9.teachable.com/p/growing-your-own-rabbit-feed

If you cut some veggies off at the ground instead of pulling, they grow back was looking forward to my 1st batch this summer but our Rodger ended up being a lady she ate everything and ate some moon flower. Still have girl Della, prob waiting for spring now. I've learned so much from you thanks!

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

Sounds like roger(now rogette) ate pretty darn good in the neighborhood. Thanks for sharing!

I see I’m not the only one using farm tools in sandals/flip-flops😂 Great video.

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

Ha! they’re like pajamas for your feet.

[@SilverCreekHomestead]

@@TheRabbitryCenter yes! Sometimes I get out there and regret the choice though! Just won’t learn my lesson! Ha ha!!

[@MatoJelic]

What breed are your rabbits?

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

New Zealand. Thanks for asking!

[@DarraghQuinn-d8o]

My NZ doe has had diarrhea since I got her 6 days ago. Carbon didn't sort it, so now I'm peppering her pellets with immodium. Thankfully she's eating them. I contacted the farm owner and he's sending me the feed they make (ten times cheaper than online!). But she arrived with diarreaha so we'll see. She has her timothy hay and a mix of higher and lower protein pellets. When she first came, the poop was bright yellow! Now it's just a brown mush.

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

Try cutting back the pellet and introduce a little more hay until things improve. Also some woody food like fodder tree branches will help too.

Just got a New Zealand doe to go with my Dutch buck. Neither my mini-rex or NZ are lifting for him though. Would a NZ be put off by a smaller buck, Bobby? She's huge in comparison. So happy to have found a NZ farm, but it was a long drive for her. She arrived and she had diarrea -a carbon capsule into her food sorted that. I might have to get a NZ buck and just count my losses on the other two? I'll look for that swollen vent. Good win for the Lions! My Bears look like they have some growing to do ...

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

He may have trouble reaching her to get the job done but if you catch her at the right time(inspecting the vent) she’ll be eager to breed Check out the table breeding video when you get a chance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3ezc6upl9-mpKMfeature=shared

[@DarraghQuinn-d8o]

@@TheRabbitryCenter I tried the elastic band method with the New Zealand doe and I think there was a fall off there! Let's see!

Great video!

thanks for watching!

[@KellyHettich]

I love watching your channel. Unfortunately I'm having trouble breeding one of my rabbits he's a mini lionhead & I'm trying to breed him to my lops. I was wondering if he could be to small for them? I bred him to my lionhead & they just had a litter of 8. I never saw any falloffs so I kept them in the cage together for 3 weeks & she had the kits on day 30 of putting her in so they must of bred. Now I've tried to breed my lops to them which are 10 months & both had a litter from the previous owner but I can't get my male to breed with either of them. Any solutions PLEASE. 😢

here’s a couple videos: Breeding kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKOqpJeql65_ickfeature=shared Table breeding kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3ezc6upl9-mpKMfeature=shared

[@BigBeavrSlayer]

Just re bred yesterday both my does, and that single kit my first time mom had is fat and healthy! Now trying to slim down one of my bucks when we got him he had just been wormed and was underweight we got him back to health but he put on a bit to much so reducing his pellets now to get that balance slim trim weight

[@BigBeavrSlayer]

And yes my arms seem to always be scratched now, need to get one of those totes 😂

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

thanks for sharing! so glad to hear the baby made it!

and every single time i forget my gloves? THATS when the rabbit kicks me. i have some nasty scars

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

They say you can always spot a rabbit raiser by the scratches on their forearms.

Thanks from mi

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@kelleyheard5790]

I thought you put the male with the females, not the females with the males.

[@Dystonee]

No way Jose. Females don't like company unless she just gave birth to them lol. She rather do her business at his house and leave afterwards

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

Always take the does to the bucks cage to prevent doe’s from Castrating your bucks. They’re territorial over their own cages. Thanks for commenting!

[@SilverCreekHomestead]

I made the mistake our first time and we ended up with a penis injury where for bit him! So tragic and we learned to put the die in after that! 😢

[@heidigarrison6178]

When I bred my rabbits, the buck stomped, it's foot was wondering why he does that?

[@TheRabbitryCenter]

He’s excited. He’s trying to entice the doe to lift for him. He’ll bite her back and Hug her with all his might until he’s tuckered out. He’ll take short breaks, Kiss her on her cheek, lay patiently and quickly try again after catching his breath.

[@heidigarrison6178]

@@TheRabbitryCenter thanks. That's pretty much what he does.
