Question
Hello. We have a Jersey Wooley Doe and a Rex buck. We found them together on Aug. 30th. Will our doe be able to pass the kits safely? Any advice on what we should do to ensure her safety as well as the kits? She is 4 1/2 months old and a first time mom. We appreciate any advice you can offer us. Thank you for your time.

Answer
hi bethann -dont worry she will be ok-just make sure the buck is seperated from her and give her some hay to make a nest.
when she has the babys dont be in a hurry to see them as a first time doe if upset will possibly kill the babys.just feed nd water as usual -let me know how you go on.
