My Buck is infertile

[Forest valley stud]

Hi All,

I was hoping for some help. I have an absolute beautiful chocolate buck dwarf lop whom I have had since he was eight weeks old and I waited and waited until he was about 7 months old to breed with him. I put him with my lilac dwarf lop girl and nothing happened. I did this for 4 months and still nothing..... I thought maybe it's her! So I put her with a very reliable mini lop buck and bingo 31 days later she had babies. So is there a remedy I could do for him to make it happen. I have tried parsely and nutmeg as I herd that this makes them want the doe even more. Nothing worked. I am hoping someone may know what to do. He also srays everywhere he goes and when he jumps past me and other people he sprays them What to do?

Is he mounting the does and going through the "motions" - most bucks fall over to the side after the "act"?

Is there evidence of ejaculate around the vulva area?

Hi Pam,

He is mounting the doe but he seems to take for ever so I don't think ejaculation is happening and he certenly doesn't fall to the side.

I have some mini lops that fall to the side very well. There seems to be no evidence around the vulva area either. I have tried him with other does as well just incase it was this particualr match.

I moved this thread over to the Rabbitry so that breeders will see it better.

It may simply be because your buck is young and inexperienced. I've had a couple of bucks like this before, and it just takes time and patience (and a lot of test matings) before they actually learn to get the hang of it and perform properlly.

Yes, well it could be. Thanks for your help. I will keep trying with him.

My best producing mini-rex buck with 12 legs wouldn't even look at a doe until he was 8 months olds. I was a little worried that I wouldn't get any kids from him and then one day he figured it out. He has sired many litters since.

Does he live in a cage alone? for the next month i would make him be a lonely bun (oh in a nice way of course!), give him toys a teady so he can practise on, and try vinager in his water this should make him horney for when its time to mate.
