Always take the doe to the buck’s cage
If one of your rabbits has a characteristic that you would like to improve on, try to select a mate that is especially strong in that area.
Bucks are usually willing to breed; does sometimes resist. Always take the doe to the buck’s cage. Rabbits, especially does, are territorial. Placing the buck in the doe’s cage may trigger territorial instincts, causing her to defend her territory from the buck rather than mating with him. Return the doe to her own rabbit cage after mating has taken place. Record when the doe will kindle–give birth–on a card kept on the hutch. You can expect a litter to be born in 28 to 35 days; the average length of gestation is 31 days.
