What is the cocci idea? I doubt the food change affected her milk, but I suppose it's possible. This was her first kindle correct? Do you go by the three strike rule?

Best of luck to you! I hopefully have a litter coming next week :fl it is a maiden doe so I have no clue what to expect from her.

Pics when you get a moment! :)

Don't forget you have to stimulate it to use the bathroom. A warm paper towel usually works. What are you using to feed it? I heard a combination of whole cream, goats milk and kitten milk replacer is the most successful.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that they still could have been bred :ep. I guess I will be building some more nest boxes!

Tres' latest litter (Litter 3) Photos at 1 Day, 2 weeks and 3 weeks 5 days!

Agreed. But is there fur in the nest now? One of my does always pulls a ton of hair and so I always grab a couple handfuls and put it in a bag and save it. I do this in case I have a doe that doesn't pull, then I will have some fur that I can put in the box. I never had this happen to me but...

Pregnancy without fall off? As I was mentioning before, I was having trouble getting my young maiden does to lift for my buck Bonzai. I eventually did get one to lift (Malu) and she is due to kindle in 10 days. I am horrible at palpating and so I always just weigh my does. Malu has gained a...

Holding her while they nurse is a much more successful approach than hand feeding. Hoping all goes well!

Good to hear she is doing better!

Yes, with the pelleted food she has a complete diet, but as long as she is eating the fresh food you know she isn't starving. I would continue to give her the fresh food and continue with the pellets, maybe she is just being picky. I have 1 or 2 that go "off feed" occasionally, but for me it has...

Super cool. I like to keep in touch with new owners as well. Most often its the people I sell/rehome horses too. I love to see how they are doing in their new homes. I hope my new blue doe gives us lots of blue babies! The doe I plan to breed her with has a 50% chance of carry blue since his...

Love the name Bleu. Almost used that name a few weeks ago!

I also have it for myself haha. I occasionally put it in my horses water as well. He loves it <3

TrES had 8 kits last week, 6 brokens and 2 solids. All are doing well.

I pull the box at 14-18 days. Usually when 1-2 have hopped out more than once I will pull it earlier (like 14 days), if they aren't hoping out then that is when I give them a few more days.

Is it safe for them to be mating if she has conceived already?

@Hatties Hoppers WOW that is great info! I will start that soon. Can it be regular store brand ACV or should it be the unpasteurized kind with the 'mother'. Also what ACV:Water ratio do you recommend?

Oh she is fine being lifted and palpated, I just do not know what I am feeling, and am scared I'll hurt the embryos lol

@Hatties Hoppers Should they continue on it while pregnant and while the kits are with them? @LocoYokel I am horrid at palpating haha, I think I will just not try anymore. I do love to feel there tummies around days 28-31 cause you can feel the kits moving about. I don't lift them, just pet...
