If the buck got in with the doe for more than five seconds, chances are she is pregnant. Give her a nest box at the appropriate time. Exactly how many days after breeding that is I forget but there are those on this site who can tell you. If you put the box in too early she may use it for a toilet.

Hey guys, I have a question about meat mutts,
When's butcher time?
Mutts are gunna be Flemish/Nz buck to our mini lop doe, Flemish/nz to our mini Rex doe
Mini Rex to mini lop or Dutch to mini Rex or Dutch to mini lop.

What's a save weight to say I should breed to? My Flemish cross is 10-15lbs, Dutch is 51/2lbs and mini Rex is 5.5 lbs( all bucks) does are 3.7-4.5lbs

I just started with meat rabbits. The research I've done says that for fryers, they should be around 5 lbs by about 10-12 weeks. I prefer mine larger so I will wait a little longer and probably have to cook differently. Also, I am hesitant to breed a larger buck to a smaller doe. It's just a concern I have due to an accidental dog mating that ended terribly for the smaller female dog. I'm not sure if the same holds true for rabbits though.

Ok, thanks. So Flemish/nz buck is out. Lol

It's logical. While there could be exceptions where things work out, I would NEVER mate a larger buck to a smaller doe. Only my opinion, but I thing that would be cruel.

My mini Rex buck is larger then my mini Rex does but it's only like 2-1 lbs different.
