Anyone know anything about....

The problem with someone who is infertile is that you don't know if it is an incompatability between a boy and a girl, a problem that the girl has or a problem that the boys has. Sometimes you will get a pair who simply do not prove fruitful, the only way you will find out is to change partners. If the female goes onto have a litter by another male don't presume that the first male was a dud, same goes for changing a males female. Even after quite few unproductive matings, never assume the male or female is sterile, particularly with the males. Sometimes it is an incompatablity problem ... the same occurs with some humans.

Breeding rabbits is not one of my hobbies :lol: but I would guess that an infertile male looks the same as any fertile male :oops:

I'm not even trying to breed them, a male has turned up in a group of 'sisters' :shock:

His bits look like he's been neutered, just shriveled sacks :? :oops:
 
Where could I find any info on infertile males?

I've looked on the Rab Refs site and I cant find anything :?
