Rabbit Breeding????

[Bethany101]

I have a silver fox buck who prefers to give the females oral rather than mount them. I don't understand. He will mount a few times then go around the back, root around a bit, and go to town. Hell keep going as long as I let it go on. After 5 or 10 minutes of trying to correct him I give up and put the female back.

What is going on. I have never heard of this happening. I'm so confused.

Sometimes eager bucks get confused on what end to do their business. It shouldn't take him too long to figure it out

Is he young? That could also be the reason. Just like in chickens sometimes young cockerels aren’t so good at doing the deed just yet. Just try to be patient (I know it’s hard) and give it time. Maybe try leaving him in a little longer.

He is 2 years old and I have been trying to breed him for an entire year now. He was not proven when I got him. Was going to replace his dad but the guy chose a different one. Starting to think because he was not good at breeding. I have stood and watched for up to an hour on many occasions with various females. Same thing happens every time. I have even left them together for 24 hours or more and still nothing.

Hmm, then I would try getting a new male if possible. Maybe from a different line.
