Yes it does sound simple...the term "reproduce like rabbits" must be born from truth...right?
I have tried unsuccessfully to breed Gina to Tater. They were first put together July 19, without much excitement. Tater really tried to do his job but Gina just wasn't interested. Being somewhat impatient I left them together overnight and assumed they must have figured things out. Wrong. Now it is over a month later and there are no little bunnies! I know better now than to leave them together unattended - seems that I wasted a month of waiting because I didn't' witness any action. That is ok.. I am always prepared to learn a lesson even if it is done the hard way. But it is SO DARN FRUSTRATING!
So now I have been trying once again to breed them, and again without success. Through research and some wonderful help on various homesteading forums I have learned that perhaps I've been feeding Gina too much - she is rather chubby now. I've also received tips such as taking her for a car ride for a change of scenery, putting them in the sun to 'warm up' (but it has been raining here so haven't tried that yet) , and to separate their cages out of sight to try for the 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' idea.
Tomorrow Gina gets to relocate and go on a diet. Maybe even go for a car ride though the pugs Karma and Shambhala will be mighty jealous.
I am new to many things, and blogging is the most recent! Thank you for dropping in for a visit - I hope in some way I can offer you some tips, hints, advice, inspiration, knowlege, or just plain entertainment. All of which are good for the soul. In turn I welcome your own input and appreciate any contribution.
