i have a friend who has taken interest in rabbit breeding and is breeding a new breed call a lionhead lop (or lion lop). it is a cross between a lionhead and holland or mini lop... she wants to try 1 litter and if she cant handle it then have both rabbis fixed... and she says she has a whole list of prospect homes for babies already ready for this 1st litter...
anyways she has a pedigreed holland and lionhead who have already bonded, she got them at a young age as well, and is now worries about having to separate them until they are of breeding age and then have to rebond them. she knows they are capable of breeding by 12 weeks but doesnt want them to until they are about 4-5 months, they are only 9 weeks right now...
what advice can i give her? is it ok for them to breed at such a young age? is there a chance they wont even try?
