I moved your thread over to the Rabbitry section for you. This is where breeders will see your post and be able to answer your questions.

Can you provide more details?

What age are the rabbits, what breed. How did you go about breeding them?

How many days since they where last together?

Is the buck proven? (Produced before?) How hot has it been by you? Some bucks can go sterile (temporarily) if exposed to high temperature for a period of time. Have the does been bred before? Produced litters?

Age of does? Age of Buck/bucks? Breeds? How long since the breeding? Did the breeding look "successful"? (Did he actually fall off and grunt? Did you watch them? How long were they together?)

The more info you can give us, the more feedback we can offer. :?

the buck has breed before. Its been real hot, breed them early in the morning. I know 1 of the does had been breed by him and produced a litter.Not sure of age of either buck or doe got them from a man whos granddaughter tried to show them. 1 doe is a cal. not sure of the other 2. the breeding was 33 days ago. Yes the breeding was successful. Im new to this read all info i could on internet thanks 4 help

If it's been real hot by you, (5+ days of 90 degrees plus weather) the buck can go sterile... it isn't permenant, but depending on your buck, it can take 2-8 weeks of cooler weather to "get him going again". Unless you can put him some place cooler for a few weeks... I know one breeder that moves all her boys into her basement the end of July so she can start breeding mid August.

The other issue could be the girls... if it's too hot, they just won't breed. Most of my girls miss when it's really hot.

Might be wise to wait a few weeks and try again, especially if it cools down a bit by you. (Breeding early in the morning won't do any good if the buck was exposed to really high temps for days before hand. You may have to just wait him out... or try using a buck that has been kept cooler.)
