Nik_B 3,790 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 "Rather than have heat cycles where the ovaries produce eggs during certain periods throughout the year, a rabbit is known as a reflex ovulator. This means the doe produces eggs in response to the buck’s stimulation of the vagina and this response will continue throughout the life of the rabbit." http://www.examiner.com/article/how-often-do-rabbits-go-into-heat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popovs Garden Craft 1 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Tried the rabbits again today, soon as they caught sight of each other fighting and fur flying all over. What am I doing wrong? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 The male and female were fighting? Did you just put one male in with her? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,484 Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Tried the rabbits again today, soon as they caught sight of each other fighting and fur flying all over. What am I doing wrong? Are you sure of the sexes? Maybe try them on neutral territory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popovs Garden Craft 1 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Yeah I keep the male in my outside aviary and take the female to it. There defiantly the right sexes as I bought off a breeder that was selling up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,484 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 If they were opposite sexes and of a reproductive age they should be at it like ... err .... hamsters not fighting. Summat seems wrong if their scrapping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest traz Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 you say your rabbits just sit and cuddle and now there fighting its called fore play Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popovs Garden Craft 1 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 The first time I tried they chased each other around a bit then just cuddled up and never actually seen them mate. Then tried a different doe and within seconds they had each other on there backs fur every were and head butting each other. Sick as a chip, meant to be so easy to breed but not having much luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
