Hi everyone, unfortunately my doe lost her litter of 7 1.5 week old kits yesterday ( not her fault, some improvements need to be done on my end) but as soon as removed the dead kits she started build a new nest, so I don’t know if I should put her nest bock back in for a bit or allow her to bald herself. My other question is how to do I prevent mastitis? Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!
 
Did her nipples have the hair rubbed off? I lost a whole litter of 5 from my previously unproven NZ doe. It was her first litter and she did not produce milk, barely had suckling on her nipples. It was very sad, tried to get the other doe to foster/ wet nurse but she mostly refused to do it on her own.

Also, what improvements need to be made? Can we get some more details on that?
