Plan Breedings And Track Fertility Over Time
Log pairings, keep breeding timelines organized, and use the breeding planner to keep due dates and outcomes visible.
Create a breeding record the right way so milestones, tasks, and later litter work all stay connected and understandable.
5-10 minutes per breeding
Desktop: Open Breedings from the left sidebar.
Mobile: Tap the menu button, then tap Breedings.
- Make sure the doe and buck already exist in the Rabbits list.
- If you use automated breeding tasks, make sure your breeding-related settings are roughly correct first.
Overview
- The breeding planner turns each pairing into a trackable timeline instead of a note you have to remember later.
When To Use
- You are scheduling pairings, tracking fall-offs, checking fertility, or reviewing breeding outcomes.
Step-By-Step Guide
Start a new breeding record
Begin from the Breeding Planner so the pairing is created in the workflow built for it.
Open Breedings from the sidebar or mobile menu.
- You should see the breeding planner page and an action to add or plan a breeding.
Use the add or plan breeding action to open the breeding form.
- You should see fields for doe, buck, pairing date, and breeding details.
- You are now in the correct place to record the breeding.
Fill in the pairing accurately
This is the part that drives later dates and selector behavior.
Select the correct doe and buck from the available rabbit selectors.
- If one of the rabbits is missing, stop and verify that rabbit is saved in the herd and has a status that fits breeding workflows, such as Active or Co-Breeding.
Set the real pairing date, not the date you happen to be entering the record later.
- Automated milestone dates depend on the pairing date, so guessing here causes confusion later.
Save the record so it appears in the breeding planner timeline.
- You should return to the breeding planner and see the pairing listed.
- The breeding record now exists and should be driving its timeline.
Check the timeline before moving on
This catches bad dates or wrong rabbits before you build more records on top of the breeding.
Look at the saved breeding entry and confirm the due dates, planned milestones, and rabbit names make sense.
- You should see milestone dates or planner information tied to the breeding.
Return to this record as the breeding progresses to log fall-offs, failures, or eventual outcomes.
- Do not delete unsuccessful breedings just because they did not result in a litter. They are still useful records.
- You now have a breeding record that can support litters, tasks, and later fertility review.
You're Done When
- The breeding appears in the planner after saving.
- The correct doe and buck are attached to it.
- The resulting dates look reasonable for your program.
Common Mistakes
- Only recording successful pairings and losing insight into repeated failures or timing issues.
- Forgetting to review due dates after changing your operational settings.
FAQ
Should I log failed breedings?
Yes. Failed pairings help you spot timing, fertility, and match-up patterns that disappear if you only save the successful ones.
When To Contact Support
- A saved breeding does not appear in the planner.
- Automated milestone dates look obviously wrong even after re-checking your settings and pairing date.
