One stubborn doe to get bred back

[TwoAcreDream]

I have this mixed doe, Sally, who has has several litters for me.
She is a really good mommy doe. Her last litter was 9.
So the babies got old enough and I though I better get her bred
again. It has been a frustrating experience. She just sits there
and shows no interest in the male. I had tried 3 different proven
bucks with her and nothing happened. So she is just taking up
cage space.
Well this morning, she sure surprised me. I went to do the morning
feeding and there she sat with a BIG haystache.
The human got a nestbox in there REAL quick. So far, she has pulled
fur and done everything right. I haven't checked her since noon,
but am hoping to see a litter by the time I get back out there.
I guess the buck must have been really quick the first time I put
them together. And I do stand there and supervise. Note to self,
mark it on the calendar with the first breeding attempt.

I had two does like that I'm pretty good at palpitating so usually I knew by the second week if they were preggers but a couple times they had litters of just 2 or 3 and it was a situation like yours and a close call!

I have since replaced them with more co-operative does, and ones who have bigger litters

Update.
Well Sally has always been cooperative. This last time though, I must
have blinked or turned my head or something. I just plain missed.
I would see the buck mount her but did not see him fall off.
And she just sat mainly in one spot in the cage and never growled or
anything with each additional attempt at a breeding. I see now, she
knew more than me

So August 6, yesterday, I find babes in the nest
I count 5. I don't mess with them too much when first born.
I am hoping my broken color mini lop is the dad. But then again,
it could be the broken mini rex buck. She has solids and brokens.
Both of these bucks are white with black.

So all ended well
