I purchased a Florida White Doe from a very reputable breeder in Missouri, who also is a judge and the doe is just remarkable! Not skittish, nothing seems to upset her, I can pet her like a cat and she's very good natured and a excellent mother. I had to ask the breeder did she do any special to get this doe the way she is? She said she puts a kill tag on any of her rabbits that are aggressive and she does handle the young once the come out of the nesting box. She's been doing this for decades and now she has some of the best FW rabbits you could ask for.

For those that don’t know, rabbits have blind spots right in front of their face, approach from directly infront, they’re more likely to attack you as they can’t tell what you are. Breeding does tends to make them more aggressive and territorial. Let them exercise and burn off energy, eat well and have fun. Be humane and get a happy bunny back.

I got 3 rex does this past weekend from a good breeder/friend of mine. very nervous, skittish and anxious. for the first 24 hrs just left them alone to get used to the new surroundings. by Monday afternoon they were ready for me to touch them. you are correct: patience is a big part of rabbitry. thanks for the video!

We have an aggressive doe...she was that way when she was too young to breed...I'd try and clean the cage and she'd lunge and scratch at me...should have shelved her I suppose...but I only got 2 does and 1 proven buck. By error in making the rabbit hutches, she broke her leg...the joint that connects the foot...don't laugh or boo me...but I took her to vet and yes, paid $$$ to have it removed and now she is a tripod...so, I want to try to get some of my money back by getting her bred...I bred the other doe as I wanted her to have more time to recoup and get stronger or I would have bred both. She is fine and gets along great being a tripod but I noticed she had scabs in one ear and watched the ear mite videos...so I got a syringe(no needle) and put olive oil in it...hubby slowly put his hand in and talked and petted her...then reached beyond her ears to grab the nape of the neck (she was in the back of the cage) to bring her forward for me to inject the oil...well, all heck took place and she screamed and jerked and it as a big mess...yeah, I did get the ears done but the trauma was upsetting...Now, I have no idea how to be able to get her out of the cage later this month to put in the bucks cage to breed her...physically, she is fine now...hoping that after first doe has her litter and no issues to deal with...I will breed 2'nd doe and keep it going until summer gets too hot for them. Hoping you have any ideas?
@Slightlyrednecked5 жыл бұрын
I am sorry to hear about all the trouble you are having with her. If it were me I don't think I would breed her. Sometimes those negative traits can be passed on to the next generation. But sometimes not so if you want to breed her go for it. As far as getting her out of the cage, I don't really have any good suggestions except for doing what you described already to get a hold of her. An aggressive doe is just difficult to handle no matter what. Make sure to wear thick heavy sleeves and gloves so you don't get bit when you are handling her.

Good question. I can't answer that for you but personally I don't tolerate aggressive rabbits. I can handle one that is a little on the skittish side but if it is lunging and biting at me it goes to the freezer. just my personal opinion though.

I love rabbits and have them as pets, but I'm not a vegetarian and think killing ones own meat is a better alternative to grocery store-bought cage/factory-raised meat. Which begs the concern, don't keep them in terrible cages like that up until their death. Let them have space to run around and enjoy their life. Those cages are even gridded at the base- that's awful.

I know you mean well but you are mistaken. Fleece is a terrible idea for flooring. It is incredibly hard to clean and will harbor bacteria. Open wire floors are much cleaner and the rabbits have no problem with them. They actually prefer them in most cases. Keep in mind that these are meat rabbits and not pet breeds. They are bred to live in wire cages.

Misinformed know it all? Might want to read Storey's Guide to raising rabbits. Wire cages are more sanitary and I have not had one case of sore feet in my rabbits. Just clean them periodically.
