Breed your rabbits for several fall offs, then go back and breed them later that day for several more fall offs. Yes!! That is great advice that I have been doing for many years and I almost never have a failed breeding or false pregnancy. Thanks for your great work supporting the rabbit breeding community, Bobby. Your channel is the best rabbit channel on KZfaq, IMO.

I cannot resist watching this over and over again the past 5 months. The more i watch and practice the better i understand and get better at breeding. I now realized the significance of re-breeding 8-10 hours later, mostly in the evening and how it helps increased litters from 5 to 6 or 8. Thank you Bobby for your help.

Hey Bobby, quick question. I have a 1 yr old doe and 1 yr old buck both NZW. Healthy weight. Problem is the doe ALWAYS pees after the buck falls off. EVERY TIME. 8 fall offs yesterday and today. 16 pees by the doe. Same thing happened last month too, thought she was pregnant but has been 40 days so went ahead and tried again. Why would a doe do this every time? Defective doe? Is she destined for freezer camp, or do you have any tricks for a peeing doe? Thanks!

@TheRabbitryCenter Жыл бұрын

I would try a different Buck he may be sterile she should still be getting pregnant. If that buck is producing litters with other doe's Be sure to leave the rabbit in the bucks cage for 30 minutes re- breed 8 to 10 hours later you should get a litter after doing this if you still don't get a litter then replace the rabbit.

@Mrmike1969 Жыл бұрын

@@TheRabbitryCenter The other doe rabbits have no problems getting pregnant from the buck. The doe in question is just stubborn I guess. Morning of breeding 4 days ago was 4 fall offs and evening was 4 fall offs. Maybe it took this time. She was a grumpy girl and growling for a couple days after the breeding session. Now 4 days in she’s sweet and loving again. Guessing time will tell. No kits this time she’s going to be replaced. Thanks for answering me back! Much appreciated! A++++ channel!

Your off spring will inherit one of the two alleles/genes from Dad and one of the two gene/alleles from their mom. Giving them 2 alleles. What those genes are is a mystery and you can find out through test mating what genes your breeders carry. Here’s a video explaining a little more. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7d6eN2BvN6yiqs.html

@TheRabbitryCenter 3 жыл бұрын

@@chingmakjrnaga649 Yes. It's important to watch and not leave them alone. You want to know for absolute sure that he serviced her. This way you don't breed her when she's already pregnant. For example If the embryos already started developing one side of the uterus horn from a previous fall off that you didn't witness. If you don't know and kept trying to breed them. At a later date she could get pregnant and the embryos could start developing on the other side of the uterus horn. In most cases the fist litter will be still born and it's never a healthy birth. So for this reason only breed until you witness fall offs. Only complete one test breeding 8-10 hours later.

Great video! Quick question. What is the best way to keep track of baby bunnies, at least for male/female, but even perhaps the individual. Since we may sell some of our Rex’s as pets, we did not want to tattoo their ear. We have tried writing with a sharpie marker in their ear, but it only lasts 2-3 days. I tried trying ribbons around their neck, but they take them off in a few hours.

@TheRabbitryCenter 3 жыл бұрын

You can tattoo odd numbers for females and even numbers for males. If you don't want to tattoo you can use tattoo pliers and add one letter or number to the ears for a quick little tattoo- females 1,3,5,7,9. It's still a tattoo but quick and simple. Shouldn't effect selling them. You can also separate them at 6-7 weeks into buck cages and doe cages.

I got a question. I have 2 females about a year old each and both combined have had about 2-4 successful litters. They would always have them scattered around the ground and I would have to intervene and gather them up and bring them inside. Other times I am not so lucky and they would already be dead by the time I went outside to feed them. I have them outside on dirt so they can burrow and make their own nests like they do in the wild. I feed them twice a day and I was wondering if I am doing anything wrong or I just got 2 rabbits that hate to be mothers. Also, is this behavior genetics?

Hey Bobby. You have helped me in the past and now I have another question. I have never combined one litter with another litter in our grow out cages. However, I now have been fortunate enough to get to does and to our surprise they kindled last night, we were not expecting that. We're happy but not ready to build another hutch yet. At the time of weaning the babies can I put different litters in the same grow out cages? We have 14 kits and I only have one very large grow out cage that they could all fit in with a lot of room to spare, but will they fight? We wean around 6 weeks and I don't want to put any of the kits in any danger of being hurt. Any recommendations would help. My kindling cages just aren't big enough to keep the momma 's and 6 and 8 kits in with them.

Hey Barry! One of the best things about raising rabbits is that they don't take up a lot of space to stay productive. The experts recommend bucks get .5 sqft per pound and nursing doe's need .6 sqft per pound. A 30 x 36 is 7.5 sqft. A buck needs at least 5 square feet to stay happy and productive. A Doe can raise her litter just fine in a 36" x 36" cage for 6-8 weeks.

Yes it’s effective but when possible I always try to let the rabbits breed naturally just try again the very next day the day after that usually when you’re attempting with a proven doe within a few days she’ll lift If the rabbit is a rookie that’s a different story it may take months

How close you can breed rabbits and when do you need new blood in the line? I didn’t separate the litter from the mom in time and a son mounted her and she’s pregnant again

You can breed brother and sister for meat you can improve your herd mother to son or father to daughter Do you know when it’s time for new blood when you start to see negative results any health problems or characteristics that are unfavorable.

i was wandering i have 2 flemish giants and i just got two litters but we diden't breed the buck after the first litter and she was in a closed space. Will my rabbit get more kits in her litter if the first and second was 12 and 13?

@TheRabbitryCenter 3 жыл бұрын

12 or 13 is a terrific number and if you’re getting that now I wouldn’t change a thing rabbits only have eight nipples so mama will have to work hard making sure all rabbits are fed. Sounds like you are doing a good job.

Bobby, I have a doe that has not been breed in two years can, and will she breed and kindle

@TheRabbitryCenter Ай бұрын

Absolutely, introduce her to a bucks cage when her vent is red. She’ll be more receptive and this will help with litter size. The fact that she hasn’t been bred in a while could mean she’s slightly overweight and this can cause a small litter.

Doe’s get territorial and they want their own area to call their’s- bucks are constantly trying to breed with doe’s and once those are pregnant their attitude tends to change And sometimes they’ll get aggressive and injure the buck because they don’t leave them alone

Hi Bobby, love your videos. There are a lot of negatives said about not breeding siblings, but a question if I may. What is the main downside of it?, and indeed, are there ANY upsides to it?. Thank you.

@TheRabbitryCenter 8 ай бұрын

That’s a terrific question. Thank you for asking. The upside is, you’ll have more rabbits, and they will look very much like the rabbits you see because there’s no genetic diversity. They most likely will come out looking very well. The down side-when you breed closely related Rabbits regularly, 🧐they’re more prone to health defects because all the positives are amplified as well as the negatives. If you have healthy Rabbits this is a plus and you may not even see any defects. Whenever you experience health defects, that’s a indicator to introduce new blood into your lines. Hope that helps.

It’s not necessary In most cases breeding once is sufficient. But when possible try breeding 8-10hrs later it’ll increase the litter size or at least make for the best potential numbers. Either way I’d mark the calendar and introduce a nesting box on day 28 or 29. Best of luck with your litter!

I have a buck and doe who are brother and sister, been together since birth. They are in the same cage together, is there a good chance they will breed or should I consider getting another doe. Do bucks and does who are together have no interest in breeding. They're always cuddled up to each other.

@TheRabbitryCenter 2 жыл бұрын

It’s easier to house sibling rabbits then any other non-related rabbits- in most cases they’ve already established who the dominant rabbit is and who’s the submissive rabbit. They’ll sexually mature around 14 weeks the doe will mount the buck and the buck will mount the doe and they will figure it out eventually -you can make tons of meat for the freezer this way and if you ever want to expand your rabbitry I would purchase two unrelated rabbits. Say, (2) unrelated Doe’s to breed with your buck. You can sell your sibling doe as a proven doe or you could always continue her litters for the freezer and sell the other doe’s litters/Rabbits to pay for Rabbit feed and supplies. Best of luck with your Rabbitry.

Good question. Yes urinating after conception can affect your success rate something that you can do to help is Keep her in the bucks cage for 30 minutes after the first fall off he will breed her several times she may urinate but doe’s are less comfortable urinating in the bucks cage and may urinate less or not at all.

I want to know if my rabbit has been bred so I don't accidently breed her when she's pregnant so I don't ever leave them alone. I'll explain why. The embryos on one side of the uterus horn can get fertilized and later you can breed the rabbit and fertilized remaining embryos on the other side. This always causes pregnancy problems which usually results in the first litter getting delivered stillborn and then mama rabbit gives birth again at a later date. It can be very frustrating but try your best to be patient. Keep checking her vent, (Swollen -Bright pink or Purple is ready to lift) keep his and her diet in check so they have the stamina. Continue to try different things. Cage swapping, coop runs, I'll do a video on table breeding for you in the near future but hopefully you won't still need it by the time it's uploaded. Best of luck I'll include a video that may give you some ideas to try. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p7J0adV-2MynXWw.html

There’s a good chance your rabbit is still pregnant. The act of mating induced ovulation. At 8 to 10 hours after the mating the egg follicles rupture and this is a perfect time for your buck to service your Doe- this will increase your litter numbers and better your chances for conception. In most cases a second mating isn’t necessary to get a rabbit pregnant.

Hey Bobby. Thanks for all your insight. I'm going to go research this but my question is, why do you think it is bad for the mom's to get pregnant before they're 6 months old? You simply say it's bad for them and list reasons what problems the kits can possibly face but not the mom. And the only reason you give for the bucks is because they're small which might cause difficulties mounting.which implies that a proven well experienced doe that positions herself to help would eliminate that problem. If a breeder isn't concerned about loss of kits then what is the problem that you believe is detrimental?

@TheRabbitryCenter Жыл бұрын

It's not detrimental but it stunts your doe's full growth potential. She'll eventually grow out but it will just take longer. By Letting them reach maturity this will help your rabbit produce big healthy litters. Some folks don't care about the numbers and just wanna have some rabbits- but an a established Rabbitry will aim to limit their losses and breed their rabbits in the most productive way for the health of the herd and business. Hope that helps!
