[FarmerBoy24]

Okay,

So about 2 week ago I went to the feed store and saw the adorablest little thing. I got a boy that has gray around his eyes and his eyes are blue! hes all white with a little black spots!! He is about a year I think. I have two dose (floppy ears) one is Grey with Light grey eyes, and the other is Brown/gray/white, Brown eyes. I can't wait to see what colors the male throws. The buck has been with them for about 2 weeks. Do you think there pregnant?

Good Luck. Is the male a floppy ear too? If not, not just the colors he will throw, but if you will have floppy or erect ears. Two weeks? Could be. Keep a watch.

No he doesn't. Owwwww I'm so excited!.

In defense of your Does, Don't just put them together and guess if they bred or your next forum post will be" Doe had kits on wire now what? ) Put 1 Doe with the buck and watch them, it will happen within 3 minutes, if not then seperate for a couple of days and try again, during this time put the other Doe in and try her. This way you can keep an accurate calendar on Breed dates-Kindle dates when to put in a nest box ect. it's only fair to your Rabbits and their young. Please take this as constructive criticism not a bashing,

Okay, but when do I know "The deed is done"?

 

[Ms. Research]

Sometimes surprises are the best! 31 days is the cycle. Good Luck! My suggestion is to just observe. After 31 days no kits, deed wasn't done.

 

[FarmerBoy24]

So I should separate the 3 until the 2 does have kits? or to see if there pregnant?

All three rabbits should have their own cages. The does need separate places so that if they are pregnant they will be able to nest and feed their kits. Does are very territorial. Also the buck should not be in with pregnant does or with does that have kits. Again fighting will be the issue. Also if say after the 31 days are over and there are no kits and you want kits, then take the buck to the first doe, breed, then take him back to his cage. Then do the same with second doe. But now that they are of breeding age, all need separate cages.

Good Luck.

You should NEVER keep bucks and does together. Bucks and pregnant does should always have there own cage. Go ahead and separate all of your rabbits and give each of the does a nest box.

The 31 days for kindling is not a hard and fast rule. Some will give birth a day or two early and some will take a few days longer depending on the individual doe's time of egg inplantation in her uterus and hormone levels. Take the buck to the doe to breed ONLY if you want a bloody buck and a rather large Vet. BILL... ... does are VERY terratorial and will protect their territory against any intruder. ALWAYS take the doe to the buck's cage for breeding. Good Luck !!!
