Im running out of hope

Question
Hi, My doe is now on day 29, I added the nest box yesterday,( she occasionally sits on top of it) and doesn't do anything else, she hasn't carried hay in her mouth, or even plucked fur, could she just be holding out for the next days coming up and if she doesn't have babies by day 35, is it okay to breed her again? thanks I appreciate your help! Thanks

Answer
Hi,

It is hard to wait for a litter isn't it?  She may wait until that last minute like a couple of mine do, don't give up hope yet.  There is no problem trying again right away if you don't get a litter this time.  She may not be ready, but you can try.  Sometimes they go through a false pregnancy which is possbily why she didn't want anything to do with the buck when you put them together after the breeding.  If she fights him at 35 days, giver her a couple weeks then try agaian.

Good luck.  Brenda
