Hello just had a litter of 8 this Saturday, one of the kits I noticed today is not moving as much. He/she is breathing and warm with a full tummy. Should I be alarmed?
Hello everyone I’m in the market for a pure breed young Dutch buck in the NJ area. If anyone can help in pointing me in the right direction I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks !!
Thank you for the insight…. I think the doe ate it. Temperatures have dropped from 50s to the 20s and back up to 50/60 after Wednesday. The nest is near the edge of the box and yes it has a lip to it. I might move the litter towards the back.
Found a kit out of the nest eaten today, does anyone know of a mother doing that? I found a different kit few days ago out of the nest and very cold. I warmed her up and placed back in. If anyone sees a trend here please let me know.
I noticed this evening while checking on the kits that my doe has taken majority of hay out of the nesting box. There’s now a thin layer of hay, her fur covering kits, a nest next to the nesting box and she’s in major heat. Anyone ever run across this before ?
