    Big buck with a small doe?

    Hi, We recently bought a buck yellow dutch to breed with two yellow Dutch does in Spring. I have a Lionhead cross and a Netherland dwarf too. Would I be able to put my Dutch buck on a netherland dwarf (false dwarf) doe? What about a Lionhead doe?

    Rebreeding a third time or poor mother?

    Turns out there is not one. there's two or three!!! the nest is really deep. So I could only make out one before. Or they have babies dad apart? The babies have both black and pink skin. so maybe back and white? Maybe the buck was a non visual Dutch marked?

    Bad rabbit breeds to breed?

    Hi, I've recently been told that Netherland dwarfs (not even just the true dwarf x true dwarf) are hard to breed. As a result I am keeping a baby back from my mix breed (not my Netherland) for breeding. Is there any other breeds that are hard to breed for first time breeders?
