Many of our members have found that young does have better litter outcomes than those that are older when first bred. This thread has pictures that will help you determine if the doe is likely to be receptive: judging-a-doe-s-readiness-and-breeding-tips-t9869.html

With the Flemmie in them, I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't quite ready, but you might try every day for a week to see if they'll become ready.
