I have 2 sister mini lops 11 weeks old. Unfortunately one has a blocked tear duct and breeder has agreed that I can return her or both of them for another pair.
Since having them I have read a lot about mini lops and would dearly love to breed at least a couple of times. I need a lot of advice though. I have bought a lovely large hutch and run as initially I wanted 2 bunnies to live together permanently as friends. Hence the 2 sisters.
Ok, so here are my questions:
I do not want lots of does or bucks, preferably just one of each however I realise if this is the case then they will have to live apart which kind of ruins the friends for life bit.
Is it possible that I keep one 11 week old and mate her taking her to the new bucks hutch when she is 6 months and he is 4?
Then after she has had a litter would it work to then have him neutered and put him with her to live as friends? Or would they fight?
