I was trying to breed my doe a few times a week for the last month or so. Today she pulled fur when I never noticed a fall off. (Worse case scenario it's from her 10 week old son I had with her before I separated him. Yeah I now know that's too long)
If the stress of her trying to be breed while pregnant got to her how do I know if she miscarried? Well besides dead kits on the wire floor?
Would there be blood even if she ate them?
This could be a false pregnancy also but to be safe she is now separated from her daughter and given a nest box.
The doe was also acting a lot more aggressive to her kit than usual and would chase her away from the grain dish even if the momma doe didn't eat much. Now I understand the agression and protectiveness of her hide.
I think all will go well since she is a good mother and younger (under a year old) but it got me thinking of this.
Thanks!
