I have 1 buck and two does. The buck and 1 for are 5 months and the other doe is 6 months. I plan on picking up another buck in November if I can find a good one at the rabbit show then. Or possibly another doe instead depends what’s for sale at the show.
My poor buck has been friend zoned by one of the does. She just loves to hang out, but doesn’t want anything serious, she just wants to be friends. The other doe thinks he’s some sort of creepy rapist and runs around screaming the whole time until he gives up and just lays down. She won’t give...
They make it look easy on EVERY internet video and web site I’ve seen. “Just put the doe in with buck, and they’ll do the business quick and easy” Lies all Lies :lol::lol:
Afternoon all, I’m gonna skip the coffee but say hello anyways. Still trying to breed the rabbits still no luck I think they’re defective :lol: got everything cleaned good anyways and putting the rabbit poop on the new garden blot on top of the cover crop we planted. It’s gonna be the best dirt...
Not a lot to update, but I will. The rabbits still aren’t breeding but I keep trying. The one I thought might have been pregnant when I got her built a nest but hasn’t pulled fur. If she hasn’t kindled buy next week then she isn’t pregnant because that’s when I got her and they’ve been separated...
It was the most recommended by locals. All rye would have been better for my needs but a lot of the ranchers here plant the mix around this time a year for a cover crop and livestock winter grazing as a bonus. Then the other grasses come up in the spring for more grazing before they till it in...
The mix was mostly rye, it had I think 6-8% Timothy and same with clover, the rest is rye grass. It’s the only thing I had available to me with short notice. Next year I’ll be more prepared and travel up to one of the towns closer to the farming parts of Montana they have actual seed and feed...
I just sewed in a pasture mix tonight covered it with a bit of soil and spread another layer and watered heavy to help it from blowing away. It’s a mix of ryegrass, clover, and Timothy hay. So I’ll be-able to use it for my rabbits as well as protect and feed my garden patch.
I guess I don’t understand the reason for planting a cover crop in September? We will probably have snow on the ground in a month maybe two. Is there really enough time for anything to grow and actually do me any good?
