Just witnessed it for the first time - it was pretty cute to see her with a mouthful, hopping around gathering more. Just like the pictures I have seen. It's my "dud doe" - a couple weeks after I got her, she started nesting, but never did anything else. I bred her with a young buck who seemed to be ready... again, she started nesting right on time, but again, nothing. I bred her with a proven buck (although not ideal, since he's smaller) just to see if she was capable. This is the most nest I have seen her make (as in, huge clumps of hair!), and she's due tomorrow so we'll see if there are any babies soon!
I will say, she's the one that had vent disease, for sure (I remember noticing it, but had no idea what it was). She's had a weeks worth of antibiotics (well, one injection last Wednesday) - will the babies be OK, or is there still a good chance it will transfer to them? <br /><br /> -- Thu May 21, 2015 9:14 am -- <br /><br /> 5 babies in the box this morning!
Today it's pleasantly cool (in the 70's) but we've been on a hot streak that's due to come back. What do I need to do for the babies once it gets into the mid 80's and above? Just uncover them a bit?
