TLDR: how to kickstart breeding after a long hiatus (well over 6 months).
Good day. We have rabbits for meat. Last year was kind of a right off. They didn't breed well and a lot of the kits we did get either died or escaped. Anyway we've fixed the escaping issue. I haven't bred since summer. I tried a could of does in November but it didn't take.
What steps do I need to take to get them back in the game? All but a couple of them are proven, both bucks and does. They aren't too old (oldest is almost 4). I know if they are too fat they won't breed or could have issues if it's successful. I know there are a lot of variables too - feed, light, age, etc. So I'm just looking for some starting points, some brainstorming.
