To Breed or Not to Breed? Tough question - one I would normally say "no" to

I would go ahead and breed her again. If she does it again, don't breed her. Geneally I don't keep does in my barn that continue to chase and beat their kids up. I have one right now that did that with her first litter. She was an awesome mom with the second. Until I had to pull her form them early when she got mastitus.

She was a really great mom with her first litter - she kept them with her a long time and was awesome.

I am thinking about putting her back with Big Jake today just to make sure that she took.

I know this sounds crazy - but I really swear that she has known all along those kits weren't hers. She has taken great care of them and all - but she didn't treat them like her first litter.

I think she felt they were eating and able to play on the floor and stuff with the big bunnies and they didn't need her anymore.
