Hi,
   
I have had my rabbits in different cages beside eachother for a week or two now. And today I have put the male into the females cage. Thye got straight into it, But I am wondering how long I should leave them in there before she is pregnant, Shall I put him into his own cage for the night? Shall I keep them in for a day, a week, a month?
   
please help:)

Bring the doe to the buck's cage. He will try to mount her. Hopefully, your doe will cooperate and will rise her rear up for him. Within a very short time will kick his feet, and may grunt and fall off. I usually allow a buck to mate three times, and then remove the doe. It is recommended to come back within an hour to six hours for a rebreeding. Go write this date on the calendar so you don't forget!!! Also, count up 29 days on your calendar and write "Nest box". Finally, count day 31 and write "Bunnies Due". Don't think you are going to remember. Nothing worse than seeing a perfectly nice litter born dead on the cage floor. Don't put your nest box in too early. Often times rabbits will poop and pee in the box. Keep cleaning it out as needed till the new babies arrive.
   
Hope this helps you with your breeding :D
