The female may need to be clipped or plucked. They may need a bit just to shorten the wool the doe needs to pull. Once breeding is ready to begin in some cases, the female may resist the male by running all around the cage. If this should occur, either you can wait it out or you can use the restrained breeding technique. You should talk to experienced breeders for more information on how to properly restrain the female for breeding.
Improper restraint can lead to injury for the female.
One of the most common occurrences, is not holding the female firmly enough, causing her to harm herself. Many inexperienced breeders have inadvertently caused their females to break their backs or legs by improper handling. Once breeding has occurred, the female can be returned to her own cage. The most important thing is to check the nest box on a regular basis to make certain the kits have not tangled their legs or their necks in the wool. A day after kindling is a good time to cut the wool into short lengths and replace it in the nest box.
