Doe Not Accepting?

[promiseacres]

I assume you've held her in position?
I would do a super through exam...
cystic ovaries can be a problem I have read... not sure what else other than tips in this thread.

So I have this English Spot doe who hates me, the buck, and life in general. I've tried everything to get her bred to my buck and I'm running out of ideas. All I want is one good litter so I can keep one of the does from said litter. I have no attachment to this doe and would have sold her already if I hadn't been trying for at least one more litter. Any ideas on how I can get her to be more receptive? I've had her for almost a year now, and have tried plenty of times to get her bred, but she won't. The buck has no problems with her. He would be more than happy to help me with my problem, but she hates him.

If you mean position her infront of the buck for breeding, then yes. The buck will back off of and have nothing to do with her while I'm I'm trying to position her for him. I'm not sure what else I can try. The buck is a good one, having successfully fathered many litters before this.

I have had best luck positioning the doe on my arm, with fingers propping her vulva, and then literally placing her in front of the buck, in his cage works best. Though if she won't lift I would for that amount of time i would suspect something healthwise is wrong. Good luck

Just a quick update but fingers crossed I think we may have a pregnant bunny finally. She's looking veryyyyyy chubby- if she is going to have kits it will be sometime in the next week+ so she's got her nest box and bedding in there, and she's been acting different (not wanting to be touched, eating ALL of her food which is not normal because she usually tips half of it over). Please wish us luck- we have not yet had a successful batch of buns so I'm an anxious to see what happens.

hope you get some bunnies soon. I just found this thread and have learned a lot from it. i'm having a problem with one of my does too. she just absolutely refuses to accept the buck. I only have two does and one buck so if one of them won't breed then I have a problem. I've let her have 3 months off and i'm concerned she has gotten to fat and may not breed at all. the other doe accepted the buck and is preggers but I've been working with callie two months and still no babies. arrrrr
