About the act of breeding

[PunkinPeep]

I always wait till 6 months to breed my large meat rabbits.

ok, but can you explain the reasoning behind that?

Breeding a four month old, large breed buck to breed is kind of like asking a 13 year old boy to father a child, or a yearling colt to breed a mare. There's the possibility that he's physically capable, but he might not be. He might also lack the physical and mental maturity to do the task well.

Especially with the Flemish in him, he's not going to be an adult rabbit until eight months old. He'll be closer to full size, have his hormones all sorted out, and will be up to the task of breeding. Right now he's not much more than a baby, and IF he figures out how to breed a doe, he's not likely to produce very well.
