Okay so to all you peoples out there who are more intelligent than me!! Can I please get some helpful pointers in pedigreeing my rabbits? My buck is already pedigreed and the doe i am looking into buying and breeding is not pedigreed but I can get a copy of both parent's pedigrees. Can I pedigree her using those? I am also planning on joining the ARBA soon too if that helps. thank you!

Breeders write their own pedigrees, so if her parents are pedigreed, your doe is pedigreed (it's just that nobody has written it up). You can still buy a book of blank forms from the ARBA, or you can use one of the pedigree programs that are available. There is a space for her information: name, ear number, color, breed, sex, date of birth - you enter all of that in the appropriate blanks (usually on the left hand side or the top, depending on how the page is set up). You enter the buck's name and other details in the section marked "sire," the doe's info goes under "dam." Their parents' info gets entered as grandsire and granddam, etc. Obviously, there will be a column of rabbits all the way to the right of the page that don't get entered because there isn't room on the form. It can be a lot of writing (or typing) but it's not complicated.

It all depends on the breed, and their size. For small breeds like Netherland Dwarfs, it's about 5-7 months. Medium and large breeds would be around 7-10 months, just depending on how big they are

Sounds like you're doing everything great. If he was like that when you got him maybe its a hip defect or spine issue if he's dragging rear feet ? Does he breed and "finish" properly. If so maybe he's adapted to it if there is no underlying health issue.

It's been 80-90 degrees lately,yes the date is right and she won't let me touch her stomach to palpate,I've put him on the ground in my chicken pen while they free ranged and he still dragged his legs he has ever since I got him,there eating manna pro rabbit pellets(and fruit,rabbit seed bars,hay block,grass,etc,poop is normal,
