Mi Bunny

This is a terrible mistake and the majority of rabbit owners commit this. They do jump right into breeding without having the basic knowledge of the traits of bunnies. This is not only erroneous but harmful as well. What may happen if you are desirous to cultivate in a desert? The result, in this case, is similar. For this reason, before jumping, have a look of which bunnies should be bred together. I hope that as an aspirational breeder your ultimate aim is to improve the entire process and generate more and more healthy bunnies.

You are also the best person to know the bunnies in the rabbitry and hence in order to rectify the deficiencies in one bunny, breed him or her to a bunny with considerable strength in the corresponding feature. It may be that your doe is with narrow shoulders and hence, it’s best to breed her to a buck with wider shoulders.

Nevertheless, this is not an easy task and there is the need of commitment, perseverance and keen eyes. Besides there is the need of precise appraisals at regular intervals. These are not only helpful but of utmost importance as well and only through repeated assessments the perfect conclusion can be attained. But it is not good to rely on one single judge (you in this case) and it is better to consult with other experienced breeders as well. They can tell you how they see your bunnies.

You can also come across more than one weakness in bunnies (may be in the form of infirmity). As a result you have to be precautious whether the rabbit has enough strength to be worth working on or whether it is better to start with some better stock. It may happen that all bunnies in the rabbitry are laden with faults. In this bizarre situation, you should make use of the rabbit with the least flaw. If there is any improvement in others, you can easily switch over.

Never hesitate to take care of bunnies with multiple faults. This is no good instance and may hamper you in the long run. Last of all, proper treatment can make these bunnies good producers.
