How long is a doe good for breeding? My NZ White doe is 3 1/2 years old and has had about 1 litter per year. The past few breedings haven't taken, and I'm not sure if it's the buck or her. It's a new buck too, never been bred before (I got him when he was 2 months old). I read on one site...

OK, I thought since she nested she was for sure pregnant... so there's no risk of her dying if I try again? I think I'll save the cost of going to a vet today-- he'll probably tell me the same thing you did! Thank you both for your help!

Breed: NZ White Age: 2 yrs Location: TX, inside (Pictured as my user icon) My doe has had three litters before with no problems. This time, I bred her on Apr. 11 and she started nesting the first week of May. On May 12 I left for a week but had my sister feed and watch her. She usually...

jujub793, I believe the urine-soaked newspaper will compost fine... we've always composted newspaper.

I'm in North TX- 30 mi. south of the OK border. My family has used Dr. Stuckey in Whitesboro (7 mi. north of us) for our dogs, cats and goats, but I haven't used him for my rabbits yet. He's really good and 'down-to-earth'.

Thank you for the welcome! My mindset is to have fun raising rabbits (one of my favorite animals) while fulfilling my dreams. I just visited your blog... very nice! Looks like we're close in age-- I'm 21. BTW, how does one get a blog on RO? ~Melody

Hello, my name is Melody and I'm from TX. I've had a rabbit or two (or more) as a pet through the years, and now in my young-adult years decided to make some money off of these cute creatures! I have two NZW now, a buck and a doe, which I acquired from friends who had too many. Now comes the...

No, they're not proven-- if "proven" means that she's had litters before or he's bred before. He's almost 3 yrs. old and she is about a year old now, and neither of them have been bred. I know at least that he's a buck-- found that out by mistake after a year of thinking he was a doe (until...

I have a buck and a doe (NZ White), both 2yrs old and younger. I've tried breeding them twice this past fall, but no go. The first time the doe didn't seem to take, but the second time the buck mounted correctly and she seemed to accept him. But, no rabbits. Any ideas? I followed the usual...
