Follow these essential steps for safe, ethical, and successful rabbit breeding
Screen for pasteurella & malocclusion
Breed at proper age & condition
Choose compatible genetics & type
Prepare nest boxes & find homes
Healthy parents produce healthy kits. Pasteurella and malocclusion are particularly important to screen for as they're common in rabbits and can be hereditary.
Timing is crucial for successful breeding. Does can conceive immediately after kindling, but spacing litters properly ensures healthier mothers and kits.
The right breeding partner combines excellent health, temperament, and genetics. Always bring the doe to the buck's cage to prevent territorial aggression.
Preparation is key to successful breeding. Have nest boxes ready by day 28, and ensure you have homes lined up for the expected kits.
Breed multiple does together to enable fostering between litters
Maintain detailed breeding records and pedigrees for all rabbits
Have buyers lined up before breeding to ensure homes for kits
