Lots of people are found to have problems with rabbit breeding. The experience is quite bizarre and unlike other animals. I know a friend of mine who watching the high rate of breeding of bunnies in the wild started to have pet rabbits. However, his hopes were dashed to the ground when he witnessed just the reverse in the rabbitry. Can this be ever true? Oh yes! There is a high possibility of it. Keep in mind that placing a buck and a doe in the same location does not make certain of mating. What should be done to make this certain? You will have to get acknowledged with some factors and how to implement them.

You will have to understand the basic natures of the bucks. There are many bucks who are not aggressive breeders and this may result from their earlier off experiences or lack of interests in breeding owing to the scarcity of the reinforcement of a completed breeding. (The second factor is highly important though many breeders prefer to be indifferent). Your task, in this context, is to strengthen their positive experiences by means of only breeding them with very ready and willing does. If you get successful, you will find that after one or two of these breedings the shy buck is often ready to try a more reserved doe.

Many bucks are also found to exhaust too quickly and it is seen that they loose energy before they can complete all of the running around and mis-mounts that may occur in natural breeding. Try to use table or assisted breeding in any case for these low-energy bucks. Is this all? No there are other problems as well. Sometimes a buck might come across vent disease. How can this crisis be discerned? You will find that the duck is no longer interested to follow the breeding process since it is scratchy for him.

You have to be careful and as you are conducting a pre-breeding check, you may become aware of the vent disease at that juncture. The penis, at this time, becomes red, swollen or blistered and does not breed. This disease may become more challenging in future and therefore, treatment is necessary straight away. Have a discussion with the veterinarian and it’s always better if Combi-Pen (Pen B) is used, given below the skin at a dose of 1/10 cc per pound, once a week for three injections.

Any disease is unwelcome and you have to be prepared always.
