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.
Actually I bred them 3 different times in the same day(noon which is a bad idea,around 1,than about 9 at night) and I thought maybe 2 was successful which obviously it was but he couldnt really get on her and he didn't know where to breed her.....and I'm worried because she isn't kindling yet and it's day 32
 
This heat will kick their butts :( I put frozen water bottle/coke bottles without labels, inside their cages, we also have 2 outdoor rated box fans mounted to keep air moving. I've noticed they take a toll on a 80 degree and up day. Pregnancy will make that a bit harder to deal with. Is check the buck's legs and make sure they're sitting correctly also but you probably already checked when you noticed...sorry I can't be more help. :( hope she has a big litter shortly! I have one doe that waits til she's IN labor to pull fur and each time I think she's faking me out lol but she delivers 8-10 each time, I would pull mine out, give them my lap and some love and try to feel because I'd be nervous she was preggers and wasn't birthing if I was sure of my breed date definitely.
He has fur on his pads,the lady I got it off of doesn't know why his legs are like that, she said he is around 3 years old,lastnight an this morning she was breathing real heavy and fast and is interested in her nest she made and yesterday I gave her a big handful of dry mowed grass and she used it all in her nest along with her fur and straw

An experienced rabbit person told me she never breed in the summer. It gets really hot here, but I would think high 80's and up would qualify for backing off breeding until fall.
