Breeding time

[LeelowsBunnies]

Hello as my Rabbits are housed indoor I can breed all year round without the fear of the heat or cold getting my babies.
Because all my breeders were babies during the normal breeding season for most breeders in south australia that I know. I had to wait till they were at least 5 1/2 months before I even considered breeding. And coming up summer they are now old enough, my two Mini Lops that is.
So I bred Storm and Jessica together and I am hoping for all REWs, there is a chance of some sables like the Sire but with all the REW in his blood line shouldn't be a issue getting some, as the doe is REW anyways.
Both the doe and buck are very good show quality Mini Lop's so I am hoping for a good Kit to retain in the litter. I will be retaining a Doe, because I love the dewlaps and the look of the Doe I have now. I don't intend breeding with the Kit though. I plan on getting her desexed and teaching her to do Jump's and sit nice for shows. I wont be ringing her as I'll wait till my first year of being in a Club. Here are a picture of the Buck and Doe I mated

Out of curiousity, when you say breed indoors do you mean a seperate structure like a garage or basement or within the house? If so how many buns do you keep?

Ok, I ask because you said you might or want to do some showing, and up until now I thought that's difficult if you have only two rabbits and trying to establish your own line. I personally wish I could get involved, but I live in an apartment and even if I had the space I wouldn't know what to do with the extra rabbits who wouldn't go into my breeding program. I mean I have ideas, but none that would sit well with my wife.

If the buck also has REW in his line, like a parent or grandparent, then you have a good chance of getting a REW offspring.

I'm curious, what does the term "ringing her" mean?

Like making her Rung with the metal bracelet thingy lol
Rather her unrung in shows so she can be desexed
