No, that is not normal. Are you sure you have a doe and a buck?

Do not leave them together- they can really hurt each other.

Did you look at the link to "Judging a doe's readiness and breeding tips" that I gave you the other day?

I am pretty sure they are male female but i will verify.But is it normal that they fight a little bit<br /><br />__________ Fri May 17, 2013 2:22 pm __________<br /><br />Should i put them in a bigger cage?

 

[DonnerSurvivor]

you are putting the doe into the bucks cage correct? It is normal that they "fight" a little bit but it should not result in fur flying or blood. I would verify that they are buck/doe and try again and if there is any real aggression take her out right away and try again later in the day or the next day.

 

[manaberokuro]

Ok i havent verified but i certainly will its stupid of me not to have verified....

There was only a little fur but no blood but they were clearly not loving this but the doe was the more agressive..the buck was curious and went toward her but she kicked him and he defended himself and went in his corner.

I would follow Mamasheepdogs advice and check the doe for readiness it usually only takes a few days for them to cycle into ready mode. I am breeding a huge doe to a fairly small buck so if shes not in the mood it doesnt happen but if her vulva is that purple color as seen in the link above there is no problems.

 

[manaberokuro]

But the buck and the doe are in the same piece is it ok or i should separate their cage?

 

[ladysown]

and you are SURE that it's a buck?

 

[Miss M]

They have a divider between them, right? You shouldn't have to separate the cages... sometimes, having them next to each other helps. Other times, separating them helps. :roll:

My buck pulls fur from my does like he's trying to build a nest. The less receptive the doe, the more of her fur he ends up with. But it's not like fur-flying, teeth-baring, claw-ripping fury. More like... doe says no and sits there, buck reaches up in mild frustration and yanks out a mouthful of fur. :roll:

 

[manaberokuro]

I checked the female but its not purple it's more light pink so I guess she is not ready i will check the male but how she can be receptive And ready?

Somebody wrote it sometimes only take few days before she is fit for breeding

 

[Teddy2511]

Yes, that's right. I would check her daily until you see a nice dark vent and then let them try it again.

 

[Secuono]

Make sure you have a male and female long before trying to breed.
If she's pink, bring/expose her to the buck each day and keep checking.
