Mi Bunny

The majority of people are found to have this concept. They do expect a lot witnessing the high rate of breeding of bunnies in the wild but when they fail to get the same in rabbitry, they get disinterested. Many try to get rid of the pets even! Whose fault is this? It may be that the fault is not related to either the buck or doe and has surfaced on account of a different reason. Whatever may be the reason, you have to be very careful. You are the owner and also breeder, hence you have to be very thrifty.

Try to find out whether the buck is permanently or seasonally sterile. There remains a high possibility that bucks can become sterile from heat in August and the sterility may continue until October or November. What is more, older bucks may become permanently sterile from aging. It also happens often that the same buck is fine with other does and does also produce. Who will be held responsible? The problem, then, lies with this particular pair. First make sure that when they breed he is actually hitting the target and not simply getting the top of her tail or her back damp.

If you come to the conclusion it is not any mating problem and the problem is related with catching, it is certain that the doe may have an inferior bacterial infection preventing conception. Though at several times Pen B is used to get rid of this disease, it is always better to consult a doctor before any approach.

Many does are found to suffer due to the dead litters and this does become a stumbling block often. Never ignore this as dead litters lead to the generation of more problems in future. Well, this crisis can also be defeated by means of rebreeding and trying to get a larger litter. The best process to increase litter size is to rebreed the doe after one hour. Some breeders also rebreed the next morning. You can follow either of these two methods.

But never consider good production and mothering as genetic and don’t press too hard to get babies from particular rabbits since it may beget larger problems in future. You can make a list of dangers of breeding after having a meticulous research in the Internet or the library close at hand.
