I am keeping my fingers crossed if i get any pinkies I'll up date i have not learned to palpitate yet but according to the calendar I am expecting pinkies from my Florida white (Audrey) when i tried to checked her she freaked out and after they mated I put her back in and she too growled at the buck and did her best to stay away but at the same time he acted like he wasn't interested in her after she growled at him

I try to watch the buck breed and do his fall-off three times in an hour's period. I then wait 8 hours and rebreed. The first mating can put the doe in heat and be receptive the second time. Leaving the doe in the buck's cage that last half hour can help in fertilization. If taken out too soon, she may urinate away the sperm. She usually won't urinate in the buck's cage. There's no need to put her back in a day later. If you have an empty cage next to the buck or doe, placing the pair next to one another can also make her receptive and send her into heat.
