Right now, as you read this, healthy rabbits are being killed at animal shelters simply because there are more wonderful rabbits than there are rabbit-people.

What can we do to stop the killing? Adopt from a shelter.

Do not allow your rabbit to have even one litter. Even if you find good homes for those babies, those are good homes that the shelter rabbits won't get. And what if each of those babies is allowed to have one litter? Will you take responsibility for each of them finding a good home? I can guarantee that within one or two generations a rabbit from that "just one litter" will end up dead at a shelter.

Talk to others about this problem. Many people are unaware of how many rabbits are being surrendered and euthanized at shelters-and compared to the ones who are dumped in fields, those at shelters are the lucky ones. Lucky to have a lethal overdose of sodium pentothal injected by a caring person!

What have we come to when that's the best we can offer these guys? To purchase from a breeder or pet store is to write a death warrant for a shelter rabbit. When you adopt from a shelter, you are saving TWO rabbits - the one you adopt, and the one who can come in and fill his spot.

It's as simple as that.

Answer 2

Why are you breeding them????

Do you have good homes lined up for the babies?

There are so many rabbits in shelters without good homes why are you breeding more?

Please get your rabbits fixed!

If the male rabbit isn't interested it might mean that he isn't old enough, or just that either he or the doe aren't ready. After putting him with the doe once leave them for several minutes. Then take him out. Put him back later that day. This might have stimulated the doe to go into heat and the buck might then be interested. If he still isn't interested just keep trying. You will know when they have succeeded. The buck will just kind of fall off of the doe.
