Cross Breeding Qestion

[crazyturkeydesigns]

So is it normal or a buck to mate on the females face i a kind of feel bad for her is there any way i can correct him ? and why does he moan before he mates her i am very new to this !

I have had the most experience bucks go for the gold on the wrong end of the doe...I think it's a combination of being REALLY excited and, in a younger buck's case, not really knowing where to go. There's nothing wrong, don't worry lol! When the buck starts to go for it on the wrong end, we usually just reach in the cage and plop him on the right end and he continues with his business.
Bucks make all sorts of noises, just like people do LOL!! It's totally normal for him to grunt a little bit before and after. When the deed is done the buck generally grunts and sort of rolls/falls back off the doe, also totally normal and an indicator of a successful mating (the rest of it is up to the doe!) We usually put our does in with the bucks around 3-4 times in one day, depending on the doe and how many times the buck is successful. My rabbits usually most successful in the evening (I feed in the morning and they only have one thing on their little minds, so breeding in the morning generally hasn't worked well for me, but that's just mho).
Good luck and let us know how it goes!!

Too funny and very common! I just push them to the correct end if they don't get it right.

I just turned the buck around until he figured out which was the right end.

smaller doe's should not be bred to bigger bucks. i've had accidental breedings like this where both mom and baby died.
