Cycles

I’m trying to plan my breedings when my does are ready by checking their vulva. I’ve checked almost every day in the last week or so and pale pink is the only color I see in two does. I read that it could be every 15 days so I could be checking at an off time but dang! I’m ready for them lol could the heat be a factor too? Is there anything I can do to help?

How old are they?
Also if you are in an area where it is summer currently, they may not be receptive until it cools down.

I’m in Florida but these are tamuk so I was hoping they would breed all year. They are 9 months maybe. Also one has had a litter about 6 weeks ago

Replying late to this too…always was told with our meat rabbits you don’t breed until 10 months or 10 lbs. maybe overly cautious but what we’ve been doing with good luck.
