I bought a 10 month old lionhead doe a few weeks ago. She was raised for 4-H shows. She’s a beautiful healthy rabbit and I would love to have some babies from her. The problem is, she doesn’t want to breed. I have a buck ready and willing, but when I put her in his cage she grunts and runs around. I’ve checked her "area" and it’s pink, not dark, which indicates that she is not "heated up". I put her in his cage every day for 10 minutes or so… nothing. Is there anything I can do to help her "get in the mood"?
If their cages aren’t near each other put them close together. Also I have heard that leaving the lights on where she is for 20 hours of the day helps to.

Just let them get to know eachother, and get used to eachother. But if she does not want to breed, don’t force her to. There are too many bunnies as it is, and too many that need to be rescued or adopted.
Hope this helps.
