Hey,
I know some of you have or have had rabbits. I'll try to keep it short.
I ended up with a doe and two bucks that have been fed from one extreme to the next over the last year or so (I know, because I fed them now and then). I've seen them skin and bones and fat. Just acquired themabout 6 weeks ago in fat condition and decided togive them a little company when they hit the freezer. Problem is, the doe didn't get pregnant. Probably the overweight thing. Think if I get her back to size (along w/ the buck) she'll conceive? Or should I just butcher her and get another? Should be around 1 1/2 years old. Not any big breeding plans, just to put a little in the freezer and pay for thier feed.

Thanks, Dave
 
I used to keep rabbits. Always put the doe in the buck's cage. Had a doe nearly kill a buck once when I did it the other way around. They can be territorial.
Sometimes the doe just doesn't want to be bred. When she does that, you have to hold her down with he rear stuck out while the buck gets the job done. When he's done, he will fall off to one side. Doesn't take long. If you try it again in a week, and she violently refuses the buck, he got the job done and there should be a litter in 3 weeks.
