In the next year I am going to start getting intoshowing and breeding rabbits (have to sell our house and move first). Ihave been doing research for over a year now, but I have a few generalquestions for those rabbit experts out there.
[1] Besides doing 4-H, how can I find out about shows in my general area/state?
[2] When a doe is giving birth, do you normally like to stay with herand make sure nothing happens, or do you like to leave her alone to doit herself. I have heard of both ways from breeders, and am wonderingwhich is more preffered.
[3] Since I am custom building my cages, should I leave wire inbetweencages so the rabbits can smell each other, or should I block that off?I am thinking about building two seperate caging systems, one forfemales, one for males.
[4] How high do males normally spray? I am wanting to put up spray guards, but am not sure how high to make them.
[5] I read that 60-90% of all does around the age of 2 that are notfixed will get uterine cancer. Do you guys normally show the doessooner than the males, so that they can get some wins on them beforeyou breed them? Or do you only breed your females a few times total?
...I think that was all I wanted to know. If not you will be hearing from me again.
