New Rabbits

We did not manage to breed rabbits at all last year. We got a new young male early in the year and thought maybe the problem was he was too young. So we kept trying and trying and trying but they just stood and stared at each other. He is a large breed so we thought he was slow growing.
Finally patience ran out and we bought 2 new males. Both young. They both seem keen!

It seems there may be some explanation for the other 'male' bunny not doing the business. One of the new males mated enthusiastically with 'him', and he (she!) seemed pretty up for it too.
So either a girl or prefers boys... hopefully babies in a months time will confirm it!
She is a really lovely friendly (and more importantly chunky) rabbit, so would be good if she has bred.
