    Re: Breeding Rabbits...

    You'll need to let the does and buck see each other for about a week before breeding. Put their cages near one another or something like that. For the actual breeding you should put the doe into the buck's cage. But once they've gone at it a couple of times, she should be put into her own cage with a nest box.

    Just please don't put them into tiny cages and never let them out to run around. I know they're breeders, but rabbits are VERY social creatures and they need time to exercise outside of the cage every day. They also need a special diet which consists primarily (if not solely) of fresh, leafy greens. A rabbit's double-stomach is easy to upset. Here's a link to a great page about rabbit nutrition:

    Please do your research, and don't just treat them as food.

    Re: Breeding Rabbits...

    oh i know, any bunny breeding for food is kept as a pet =D
    rabbits are cool...

    but thats why i only want a few does, i have done alot of research sense i got the boas... infact i have two tabs open of different breeding pages...

    i used to have pet rabbits, so i know how to care for them.

    and for my own sanity, im going to invest in making a CO2 thing...
    =]

    they wont be in tiny cages either, they come with a two story hutch for the females, and i'll have them in seprate cages when they have their babies...

    they will have a grass area in the back to have some exersize. i'll prolly get a pen to put them in...


    knowing my past with breeding rats, i will prolly mess around with genetics and colors.... =]
