I thinkyou'll get a lot of different answers. We never bred anything younger then 6 months.

 

[mistyjr]

I would never breed any doe under 6 month. No breed. Never. My Himmies are left until 7 months before I even consider it.

Bucks are a different story. Bucks can breed when both testicles have dropped. Just take a look around his vent area regularly and when you see both, he's ready. Never before, though.

yeah, i know that.. that is why my aunt said the male can stay with th females until 12-14 weeks, but hes not with the does no more

I wouldn't let you male stay with the females for that long. I would seperate the buck as soon as he is 8 weeks of age.

I breed my does at 6 months. I would never breed them younger than that. And sixteen weeks - that's 4 months - way too young.
