I gave up on the purebred NZR buck a few hours to the south of me and bred my problem doe starting on Dec 4th to my little mutt buck.
I wasn't sure he got anywhere, I thought he maybe surprised her once and then she refused...and refused...and refused. She is twice his size, it was hysterical. He's a good sport.
Well, I was convinced she wasn't bred, and she is fat anyway...today I went out and looked at her and thought, you know...she looks like she swallowed a football all of a sudden. I felt her belly, felt for milk....shrugged and "just in case" put in a nest box and a huge pile of hay.
Within 5 minutes she was building a nest, within 15 she had the first kit!
Plenty of fur, not sure how many kits yet! I am SOOOO happy!! FINALLY!!!
