Back to Breeding

So, winter's finally coming to an end...sort of.  Anyway, three days ago, I bred my Velveteen Lop female Lilac with my Velveteen Lop male Francis.

Then yesterday, I bred my English Lop female Ragnara with my Velveteen Lop male Brody.  And my 'meat mix' female Saffron with my 'meat mix' male Chuck.

I did get pictures of Francis with Lilac, but memory cards got switched around and I can no longer find them.  And yesterday, we were in a rush, so I was unable to get pictures of either Brody and Ragnara or Saffron and Chuck.

But...this is more of an 'update' post then anything else.  And I'm debating whether to breed 3 more females this coming week, or wait a week....because the breeding season is coming back :)

I have to get a routine going like I had last year.  It worked really well, so I'd like to set up something similar again this year.  The only problem? It's still fairly cold out...and I don't know how the weather's going to be the end of March when these babies will be born.  And I don't want it to be too cold for them.

So we'll see.  The three I bred are currently in our basement, so they will be warm enough.  But I'm not sure when to start the one's outside.  Because you also have to worry about the males who are outside.  If it's too cold and you try to breed them, the male will be unable to successfully mate with the female.

But looking at this weeks weather...hopefully we'll be on the up and ups to warmth in no time! :)
