I would rebreed both in a week or so. 3 is a small.litter and if they have 5 weeks to nurse that is a respectable time to separate or not, depending on thr next litter size. You may just combine litters and give to the mom without babies...

Maybe the heat is making both buck and does indisposed to breeding now.

I mean that you would breed with a bu k who is about to be processed anyway, so no risk of passing any infection on. So breed with a meat buck who is ready to go anyway. Immediately after breeding, the buck goes tonfreezer camp.

Can you find a local friend with a buck ready for the freezer to breed then butcher?

She has very light feet and ears so she may even be dd.

Fascinating. That must mean that mom and dad both carry Ee, correct? So he would be A_B_C_D_Ee. Mom would be harder to figure out as a Californian, but now I know she is Dd and Ee.

This lighter colored kit is a pleasant surprise. Mom looks Californian and carries dilute. Dad is supposed to b we a pedigreed sandy Flemish giant bred color correct. Is this orange or fawn or something else?

Any photos or updates?

Raspberry leaves of raspberry leaf tea? Willow branches for pain?

I am just south of Baltimore. My sister is in Hedgesville and may be interested, though.

How didnit turn out? Did they kindle yet?

Sorry to hijack. I started another thread specifically about moving a nest. How did you get your doe to care for the babies after the nest was moved?

A colony doe had 15 kits in a burrow. I want to be able to monitor and we need to get the deep bedding out, so we removed the nest, placed it in a nesting tote and left it by the entrance of the burrow after we collapsed the burrow. The kits seem a little jumpy and noisy so I am not sure she...

Possibly the buck could have introduced something like pasturella into her uterus if he humped her head first and then got it right.
