Normal behaviour??

Question
So if her genitalia is red then how long will it remain red? Just so I know in advance when to bring the buck to her.

Answer
A lot of it will depend on the season and weather, but generally (and this is counting from the first day) she will remain receptive to the buck for 3 to 4 days before it will start to turn purple, signaling the end of her cycle.

Also, never bring the buck to the doe. Bring the doe to the buck. It makes the buck more comfortable, and the doe is less likely to fight with him if she is not in her own territory.
