Thank you both for your input. She was starting to get aggressive toward me kind of out of the blue so I tried to breed her the past two weekends without success. Unfortunately I work during week days and I'm not comfortable leaving her alone with him while I'm at work so I've just been trying...

I thought rabbits were "in heat" 365 days per year or possibly 12 days followed by 2-4 days of not being furtile followed by another 12 days of furtility. Should I be checking her vulva every day to pick the best day to put them together?

I have a 6 month old Florida White that started growling at me. Everyone I talked to said she might want to be bred so I tried putting her in with a buck. He is more than willing to give breeding a try but she just doesn't let him complete the act. She lets him get in place but before he...

I'm having trouble uploading a picture but do you think This pellet gun would be powerful enough? And do you think shooting from behind near the base of the skull would be more quick and less room of error or from the front right above but between the eyes...

Has anyone tried breeding standard Rex with a larger rabbit like a New Zealand or Silver Fox? Is there any larger breed you can cross with and maintain the Rex coat?
