Hi, I was wondering for those breeders who check their doe's vulva before breeding for readiness, how often do you check? Every day or every few days? How long will the vulva stay red to dark red? Or if you don't check what is the sucess rate since rabbits are induced ovulators?

Thanks for any answers!:D

Every other day until they are ready if I'm really wanting to get things going.

But some can look ready physically, but mentally want nothing to do with it...Then it's every night a trip to visit the buck until she thinks he's good enough. =p
