does anybody have any rabbit questions

[gypsy2621]

it isnt just a dominence thing , its also hormones, 5 month old bucks are starting in getting the breeding hormones.
I would never let the rabbit out with a dog nor cat unsupervised.
neither rabbit nor dog should be dominating either animal.
this is how expensive vet bills are incurred. both for the rabbit and or the dog.

Hi, i would try arba website it had breeders listed there for all kinds. my friend does angoras here in Pa, but i dont know if she ships. Also look in yahoo groups for angora rabbits they have group you can join and people sell ont hose group from all over united states. We have rabbits but no angoras. Sorry and good luck !

She may have just not breed ready yet-did you check the color of her genitals? Rabbits are induced ovulates. I have bred one of my does three times in the past few months and no babies. If you think of it in a logical way, why would a rabbit want to have babies during the coldest part of the year? With Spring around the corner, you may notice her getting more ready for breeding. Also, how old is she, has she been bred before?

And give her a few more days-sometimes babies are late

I agree with chelsea. I also palpate my does at 15 days after breeding.

P of H Farm -

Palpate? I tried it, but I don't really know what I am feeling for and where.

Does that mean my doe is not expecting?

It takes a bit to learn the art of palpating. You can do a search on Youtube for it-may help. It doesn't mean she's not pregnant if you don't feel anything. Just means you don't know what to feel for.
