Breeding our pair for the first time...

[Cuttlefishherder]

Our buck is having trouble hitting the target, in fact, he keeps turning around and hitting her head. He's done it before but he was too young at the time and our doe has had a litter before. She isn't showing any signs of letting him mate her, should I just hold her? How do you hold a rabbit for that kind of stuff?

Honestly I'm tempted to just get a new Female, the one we have now is very in-personable, so I think we could live with eating her if she doesn't take, you know?

i would hold her down, when we breed, i stick the doe in the bucks cage and she does a run around a few times, then they go at it... but if she wont stop running and sstay still, i hold her down untill he gets on her and then let go.. if she still fights him i put her away, i dont like to really force them to... it seems really unfair, haha... so i would hold her down... and she what he does, but if he keeps going for her head he doesnt really know what to do...and maybe get a new buck not doe... b.c hes the one with the issue not she
