Hey everyone
A couple of months ago I bought a beautiful doe off a local show breeder.
She is about 3 years old and her breeder told me that she has had 2 litters in the past and was an excellent mother.
After talking to the breeder and getting advice from her, I decided to buy the doe. She was $120.
I bred her to my buck and today is the due date and unfortunately there are no kits.
When she was about 5 days into the pregnancy she started nesting and I'd read on a website that if a doe begins nesting before day 21 it may be a sign that she is not actually pregnant.
She stopped nesting about 3 days after she started nesting and hasn't displayed any similar behaviour since.
I am going to wait a few days and maybe try again.
I spoke to another breeder and she said that I may have been ripped off. She told that some breeders take advantage of beginners. I'm kind of disappointed, I really trusted the other breeder.
Is there much chance of a 3 year old taking? Would it be worth it to keep on trying?
She's a beautiful girl with a great pedigree and it'll be upsetting if I can't get any litters from her.
All advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
