But of course I will , I still think its a case of being a dominant female lol, but I will check just to be on the safe side.

thanks. if i remember i will bring her, she is a bit of a brat. why i thought i wanted to breed lionheads i dont know.
luna the holland lop is a doll, love that rabbit.

If she is getting cranky take her out and lay her on her back in your arms, dont let her up till she calms down.
she will relax a bit and you will be able to handle her better , I will show you at westford how to do this.

Dave's not here, man...... no, no, it's me, Dave..... Daves not here man...

I am going to try and make Westford. Jen has some thoughts on genetics and eggs that she thinks may be the reason Cindy is hatching roos... too scientific for this dummy, she will have to explain it.

Temperature related?

I did post in the incubation forum on this. Everyone felt it's the luck of the draw. I just had really bad luck.

More than one person posted if I hatched 100 or more chicks then my ratio would be closer to 50/50. I'm not sure I want that many roos.

LOL sounds like she is playing with you, believe it or not some rabbits do in fact have a sense of humor.
