A rabbit breeding question

22 10:58:11

Question
My doe seems to be very fussy about breeding. At first she seems to cuddle up to the buck, but if he makes any move she turns on hims and chase him off. Sometimes she even growls. She's done this to two different males. Is there something I can do to help the situtation? Or do i just need to give her more time around her mate so she gets use to him?

thanks for your help.

Answer
hi jill sometimes we take hold of the doe and let the buck mount her but you have to be confident to do this as when he's finshed he needs to be removed quickly or she will bite him
i would advise you to give it a bit more time she may respond
