I didn't want to flood the Coffee thread so I thought i'd post here
There are a few things you can do to try and get your rabbits to breed.
Are they molting? Mine are all molting right now and the bucks are pretty much useless for a month or 2...they don't even try to breed!
You can try switching cages with the buck and doe. Put her in his cage, him in her cage and leave them there overnight. In the morning, switch them back then put the doe in with the buck. Its worked for me once or twice.
Then there's the loooong car ride. That works! If you're running errands, bring the doe along for the ride. Rabbits have an instinct to breed when they feel their environment is changing....they have to start new type of thing. I've had pretty good luck with this trick
You could try putting them in a small enclosed area on the grass...for some reason my does love to breed when I put them on the ground

How many rabbits (does and bucks) do you have?

I have 1 buck and two does. The buck and 1 for are 5 months and the other doe is 6 months. I plan on picking up another buck in November if I can find a good one at the rabbit show then. Or possibly another doe instead depends what’s for sale at the show.

They may be too young, I’ve heard some people start at 4 months all the way up to 8 months. So I’m trying somewhere in the middle.

Right you are!!!! I had followed it south from the lake MtViking went to and it split into smaller rivers. I ASSUMED!!! that was the end of it. I didn't realize it was flowing north

Those three rivers create the Missouri River. It’s called Three Forks.

They are the Jefferson river the Galliton and the Maddison. If I’m remembering correctly

I’ll see if I can try some of those tricks this week. I have a opened bottom cage for the grow outs to graze once I actually get any grow out so I can try the grass trick pretty easy.

I know my Dad and step-mother tried the "take the bunny for a ride" thing. Don't know if it worked.

Yours are pretty young!
I breed my Hollands at around 6-8 months depending on when they want to breed.
Netherland Dwarfs usually breed on their own at around 5 months, same with my Lionheads.
The Angoras breed at 8 months to a year

They’re 5 and 6 months but they’re a. It bigger breed than the dwarfs.

Usually the bigger breeds take longer to mature
