Thanks everyone for the advise. I think just to play it safe I will seperate the 2 of them, I would dread for anything to happen to either of them or the babies, so I think this will be the safest option. Given that they are already bonded what are the chances of me letting them live...

Hi all, I have a french lop doe who is still living with a doe from her last litter(her daughter), they get on so well together it was a shame to seperate them and as I was running the daughter on thought it would be nice for them to stay together. Anyway the mum is now mated up again...

Hi, I am a small breeder of french lops and only been doing it for the past year so there is newthings im learning about all the time. I have done loads of reading on the internet as to what sex rabbits to have as a companion pair, heres the senario: I have a lady who wants to take 2 babies...

Thanks to everyone for the input. The doe herself seems to be in good condition, and as this was to be her first litter I can not say if she will be a good or bad mother. I thought they could have been stillborn due to her being a first time mum and alsoadjusting to the move and her being...

Hi, I have just taken in a mini lop doe 2 days ago who I was told may be due to give birth, anyway today when I went out there were 2 dead kits in the hutch and the mum had made no attempts at all to make a nest. What I need to know now is when is it safe for me to remate her, how long do I...

Hi everyone, I have a french lop first time mum who was due to give birth on 7th Jan (31 days), however ive had a really funny feeling that she was not pregnant and there has been no sign at all of nestbuilding or pulling fur. I was wondering whenit would be safe to rebreed her, I need to...

Well just to let you all know the persistance paid off in the end and we have had a mating. Fingers crossed now that all goes to plan and the waiting game begins!

Thanks for that Pam, my rabbits are all housed in a shed but I do have lights that come on at 4pm and go off again at 9.30. I will keep trying and keeping my fingers crossed. Kelly

Hi, I have been breeding french lops for over a year now and never had any problems with mating until now!! I have a doe who is now 9mth who I am trying to breed for the first time. I took her to a friends to use her proven stud and for all his trying she would not lift her backside for him...

Hi everyone, I started to breed french lops early this year and trying to come to terms with the various colours. This is confusing!!:? I have a litter that is now 3 weeks old bred from blue self and blue otter. I know I have 3 REW and 1 blue self, now the other 2 have the otter markings, and...

Thanks again Pam, Thats sorted then, mind made up orange it is! Just need to find what im looking for now!

Thanks Pam, I would like to get oranges but thought if I went for the orange butterfly this may then give me selfs and butterflys? But would this be suitable for the other does I already have?:?

Hi everyone, Unless you dont know I have french lops and have recently bought some new stock. The problem I have now is that I need a buck for breeding and need a little advise as to what would be best. I currently have does in Blue self, Iron Grey(sallander), Blue butterfly(broken) and...
