Well, her hormones seemed to have calmed down, she's rational now, no longer attacking inanimate objects.
Today was a surprise though. I've had the nestbox inside since we're dealing with temps in the negative teens AGAIN.
Just been taking them to her for the daylight hours.
My husband was out before me to feed and water his precious hens. He told me the doe (Inanna) was furious that I hadn't gotten her kits out yet.
Charging back and forth in her hutch.
Fast forward an hour and a half, I'm climbing the hill with a basket of kits in one hand and a tote of food and water in another
Thinking "Wow, there are a lot of rabbit tracks in the snow today"
Right about that moment, Inanna dashed out from under one of the unused hutches and slammed into my legs! (left a good bruise there too)
Then stood there looking at me
"Where are my kits, you slow and stupid human???"
She followed me into the greenhouse that my husband had left unlocked(without further harassment thankfully) and back to her hutch, that she must have slammed her weight against to get open.
At which point I put the kits inside and she came up to me and calmly allowed me to pick her up and place her in the hutch.
So...now I'm starting to think I kinda like this little firecracker.
Sometimes the seemingly most cantankerous critters turn out to be the ones with the most personality and smarts.
