If you mean position her infront of the buck for breeding, then yes. The buck will back off of and have nothing to do with her while I'm I'm trying to position her for him. :he I'm not sure what else I can try. The buck is a good one, having successfully fathered many litters before this.
So I have this English Spot doe who hates me, the buck, and life in general. I've tried everything to get her bred to my buck and I'm running out of ideas. All I want is one good litter so I can keep one of the does from said litter. I have no attachment to this doe and would have sold her...
I'm looking into the Inkinator pen. It looks nice and has pretty good reviews. It has a fancy price tag, though :\. Some of the tattoos on rabbits that I have purchased from other breeders are starting to fade, so I have that to worry about as well as tattooing new buns.
This is my latest litter. The one on the left is a Lionhead tort doe who I fostered to my AFL Doe. The one on the right is the baby of the foster momma. He is a AFL black buck.
As my rabbitry expands, I'm looking in to purchasing a tattoo pen. Just wanted to know some of your thoughts on the subject. What brand do you suggest? What works for you and why?
Also I'm looking for an affordable Pedigree computer program, one that I can not only do pedigrees, but also one...
So really, no new news. I plan on rebreeding her soon, like in the next week sometime, and hope for the best. Thanks for all of the tips and support! I will keep you guys updated on her pregnancy. :)
Wow, what a story @sadieml I'm sorry about that loss.
I raise American Fuzzy Lops, English Spots, Holland Lops, and Lionheads, so they are all show breeds, (not that I do any showing myself) I sell my babies to people who wants pets or project rabbits, like for 4H or FFA.
I've wanted meat...
Ok, thanks so much for all of the advice. I have a good relationship with my vet, and she's told me to call her if I have questions. I'll give her a call tomorrow and then post an update. :hugs Hugs for everyone!
No kits yet. Is it possible that her body could have mummified them? I'm thinking that's what happened. Can I breed her again if she still has the mummified kits in her? :idunno
She made a nest on day 29, but then stopped and kinda left it alone. She's been sitting in the nestbox alot as of late, though. Yes, I am sure of the due date. I keep a calender out in my barn just for that purpose. And yes, taking her to the vet would be very expensive.
Thanks for taking the...
