Mir just turned one January 25 and Caspian is almost 9 months old. Vera 4 months old so very close to breeding. What are yours ages? You honestly have such beautiful rabbits and so many colors!

Hershey is almost 11 months, Quinn (the blue harlequin doe) is around a year. Then the Lilac doe (Lilly) and Blue Harlquin buck (Louie) are both 4 months old.

Let me see if I can explain this well…Louie is Quinn’s son, which I thought we would line breed, except we realized after I picked him out and got home that Quinn was bred back to her own father so her and Louie share the same father, which seems too close. He was so pretty and I didn’t want to trade him out so now that we’ve learned Hershey is a buck (who I was planning for Louie to breed if he was a doe), she will bring me a doe that is unrelated to Louie for breeding. The Lilac doe’s mother is Louie’s grandmother. So it’s a distant relation but I’m not sure about breeding them when they come of age. Maybe you have some insight to that? However, I can breed Hershey to her anyways since they are unrelated. Which may make some pretty babies, because lilac is dilute chocolate right? Idk I need to sit down and study! Haha So basically, I just need a doe for Louie. Which the breeder is planning on bringing. She’s been very helpful.

Ok so, it's find to line breed most of the time. Mini Lops are more or a show breed so I would suggest getting another buck maybe that isn't the slightest bit related then breed you doe's to him if you want to do pedigree. People aren't gonna want to see all those repeats is pedigree. So maybe I would pedigree those kits. Caspian and Mir are related. Caspian's dad is Mir's step brother. So it's not a huge relation but it's still there. Now in their pedigree, I believe it says BUCKS CROCKER twice, that is the dad. But if I kept one of their offspring and bred him to Mir (which you shouldn't do lol) the repeated buck will be in the gg grandparents so you can't see it on the papers which isn't cheating anyone, it's just how it all works.

Hershey is not related to my two does so at least I have him for those girls. Then the new doe I get won’t be related at all to Louie so I’ll just use him for the new one.

I have a little more hope after doing some research... Rabbits don't just have to kindle at 30 days. It's gone all the way to 42 for someone. And I see so much movement in her...

Surely she’s pregnant if you see the movement! Plus her building a nest. I saw one lady who said her rabbit started building a nest two weeks early. I hope it happens tonight for you! I know it’s got to be discouraging and somewhat worrisome.

Yes! I'm glad you understand 🤣 but I guess we'll just have to see. I am so confused at what the movement in her might be if she's not pregnant. She's not showing any signs of being sick.
