Do you think this will work? UPDATE!!

That is a practice I would not recommend as they can get impregnated multiple times. They can also fight and have heard of does seriously damaging males business.
I put them in and watch to see if they breed. Then out they come. Its safe and affective for me.

Did you try table breeding any before you put them in together for a few days?

 

[GLENMAR]

I had tried everything else. I never saw any fighting.
They are not used to being handled, so table breeding would be hard.
I think I felt some babies on one of the does yesterday. I did not feel anything on the
other two. I am going to wait and see what happens.

Yep. I did not see a lot of action with the quick visits. So I decided to let them pair up for 5 days. I left them together for 5 days. I did see the New Zealand attempting the wrong end,
Anyway, I tried not to bother them except to see if they were fighting. I did not see any other breeding attempts, but like I said, I pretty much just left them alone.
I will put in nest boxes around 2/24. We shall see.....

I see my boys doing the hump the head thing after they have unsuccessfully tried the right end, but I push them off and make them do it right. However, there are times that it is more of a dominance maneuver. You can actually see does do this to the buck when she is not receptive.
Personally, I don't leave them together. I want to know when they were actually bred and stay there watching until I see the deed. I let him do his thing twice, check to see if semen is noticable around the doe's vulva and then consider it a good mating.
Sometimes, even after I have seen the deed happen, I will still try them again the next couple of days until I see the doe really reject the buck. BUT that doesn't always tell the truth of what is going on.
I had a Cal doe last year that I put her in with my buck. He serviced her. I tried again the next day and she let him again. In fact, I was getting pretty upset because I was trying her every day for about 3 weeks and she just kept letting him.
I had put another doe in starting the same day as the first attempted breeding, and she rejected him in a very aggreassive way the next day!
Well, kindling day came for the one doe and as I was looking through her nest box to see if there were stills to remove, my son says, "Hey, there are babies over here on the floor." That tramp of a doe that kept letting the buck mount her was preggers the first time and had 8 babies right one time! I was able to save 6 and get a box in with her in time that no others were lost.
This rabbit breeding thing is tricky business sometimes.

yes, my doe did that to my buck the first time they met

Well if it worked, my first ones should be due during the week of 3/11.

I don't think any are pregnant even though I left them with the bucks for 4 days.

We had a pair of Rex rabbits that we tried to breed. Nothing happened. We finally gave up put them in together full time and left them alone. Still nothing happened. Finally, one morning we found a nest of babies. We left them alone for a few days while we went and got a set of cages and set them up. The mom and dad and babies all in the same cage for a week or so. Babies got big enough to move out so we moved babies and during moving babies we found another nest of new borns. Couldn't get her started, now can't get her stopped. Dad is now in new home all by himself again. Oh BTW, I have baby rabbits for sale.

Ok. I palated the does. There was I blue that I was 90% sure that I thought was pregnant.
Last night she kindled 5 kits, but she never pulled any hair.
They were all over in the next box and got too cold, so I lost those.

The good news is I was checking over the other does really well,
I decided to try to re-breed one if the New Zealands. Will the buck
really wanted her. I held her head and lifted her rear a little with my other hand.
He bred her successfully right away.

I am going to give the blue a few days to recover, then try to re-breed her.

Actually, I recommend re-breeding her ASAP, since you have another doe bred at about the same time. Having does scheduled to kindle at the same time is highly recommended, since it allows you to foster kits between the two momma does. That can be a litter saver if you have a litter of just one, or if one doe doesn't feed them, or one doe dies, or other problems like that.

Plus, does are really *really* fertile right after they kindle.
