I was thinking peanut. What does the head look like? I know some charactertics of peanunts can be seen in the head. The eyes of a peanut will bulge and be very apparent. The hindquarters of a peanut are half the width of a normal kit. Peanuts tend to just wither away, they won't get any bigger and they seem to shrink. Good luck in figuring it out!

Unfortunately all but one of her kits died.

So far the one is doing great. We shall see.

Hopefully her next litter will be a whole lot better or will consider culling her.

Any update? Have you tried breeding her again? Just curious. :)

Heat does strange things to kits affecting their growth invitro, have to agree. Plus it's hard on the doe, along with heat could sterilize your buck. Hope once the cooler weather comes she has a successful litter. How many times do you give a doe a chance before culling her from the program?

She will get 3 chances. Then will become stew or sold as a pet, not a breeder. She has 2 left.
