I think how long it takes for them to hook up can vary. Last year was an accident, daughter put my male in the wrong tub after handling him for me, more my fault than hers, but that hook up happened quick, was only one hookup and got 11 eggs from it. This year's two matings are totally planned, the first took 20 inutes to hook up but there was no real fuss they just weren't in a hurry. That pair's second time together took almost 30 minutes, again no one trying to get away they just took their time. My second pair the female was running like mad, I decided I would see if she calmed down after 20 minutes, if not I would seperate. Just as I got up to seperate she stopped and he hooked up. Oddly they stayed hooked up for over an hour! Second time she got in a corner and hid her tail so after 5 mins I said ok you are done no more
. Now its a game of wait and see
Good luck to everyone that breeds this year! The year of the rabbit is a year of good fortune I am told
