Hey everybody,
As you know, I'm new here. But first I need your help please!
In late May or so, I will be getting 2 Show Quality Dwarf Hotots for $25 CAN each. One kit female (7 weeks old at that time) and an older male. I have decided I want to breed some Dwarf Hotots and sell them.
After asking so many people and going to forums for rabbit breeding, I found out that it is not very easy. I also found that I need a nest box and two cages (for the male after mating). Usually Dwarf Hotots should eat 1/4 cup per day. So, I have questions for you guys to answer please:
What items do I have to have for breeding?
Do I put anything (hay, wood shavings, etc.) in the nest box?
Do I double the food for the mother when she is pregnant?
Do I seperate the male right after he mates with the mother?
When do they mate?
How many times do they mate?
What if I was away when they are mating?
How long does it take for the mother to be pregnant?
What kind of bedding should I use and what is the best and cheapest?
So, these are the questions. BUT PLEASE, TELL ME EVERYTHING (WHAT TO DO) FROM WHEN I GET THE BUNNIES 'TIL THE KITS GROW UP (6 WEEKS OLD OR SO) AND WHAT ITEMS I NEED FOR BREEDING
Please reply ASAP,
